If you are looking for a professional video editor, you have come to right place! But first, a little about my experience and qualifications: My interest in video production really began in college. I discovered early on that a little creativity combined with the right software is key to success in a technology driven world. This understanding enabled me to learn as much as I could about Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, Audition, and Dreamweaver. After four long years, I received my degree in multimedia with a minor in media production the at the University of Nebraska in Kearney in 2018. While I learned a lot during my time in college, most of my video editing experience came from working at KLKN-TV Channel 8 Eyewitness News, an ABC affiliate. Over the past year and a half, I edited more than one thousand shows. Not only did I learn rather quickly the importance of deadlines, I also discovered that finding the perfect balance between working independently and with a team was imperative to the success of the news station. Our team had to make sure that we were creating engaging content every day to keep our viewers interested. I chose to leave the news industry in order to fully open myself to other opportunities that required a little more creative freedom on my end. I believe my skills are easily transferable and my desire to work on projects that require a little more post-production work is unmatched. Growing up on a farm/ranch instilled a strong work ethic. If given the opportunity, I promise to deliver high quality work with passion and energy while never missing a deadline.
Produced for University of Nebraska at Kearney
Although parts of this documentary were included in one of the demo reels already added to my profile, I wanted to add the whole project because it is my pride and joy. This short documentary depicts the life of the Henderson family and the legacy they are leaving behind.
In December of 2020, I set out with the intent to talk to as many locally owned businesses in Lincoln Nebraska. I visited many small diners, unique boutiques, little shops in the historic Haymarket area, downtown bookstores, and dive bars in the city. All of the businesses discussed a common theme; surviving amidst a worldwide pandemic.Here you will see the real, raw, and unfiltered stories that might have otherwise never been told.
