Hello!
Video Editor | Institute for Creation Research
Day to Day
I am a passionate Video Editor at The Institute for Creation Research, where I've had the privilege of working since June 2023. Throughout my time here, I have gained extensive experience editing a diverse range of projects, from podcast episodes to dynamic, animation-driven video series that demand both creativity and precision.
As I've taken on increasing responsibilities, including project management for a key initiative, I've honed my leadership skills and developed a deeper understanding of how to guide teams toward success. I take pride in managing timelines, ensuring projects are completed with excellence, and consistently working toward the end goal.
Above all, I thrive in collaborative environments, finding joy in contributing to team success and celebrating accomplishments together. My commitment to quality, strong work ethic, and positive attitude are at the core of everything I do.
Featured Work
Lead Video
Producer Experience
I was selected as the lead video producer for the 5-day Parks Across America Hot Springs trip. During this experience, I learned valuable skills in filming on location, adapting quickly to unexpected challenges, and capturing shots on the go. I faced some technical challenges that pushed me to problem-solve on the fly, ultimately helping me grow and become more confident in my abilities as a videographer. Throughout the trip, I filmed the scientists during their Creation On Location talks at national and state parks during the day, and their formal presentations at night, helping them communicate complex ideas in an accessible way. Overall, it was an incredibly rewarding experience that has enhanced both my technical and creative skills. My videos from the trip will be released soon!
Recognition for Creative Initiative
I had the opportunity to edit the President’s annual Christmas Address video, a project where I took the initiative to elevate the visual storytelling. I captured b-roll of our company’s original Christmas cards, carefully arranging them in a Christmas tree and using slow-motion shots to create a polished, cinematic look. After watching the final video, the President praised my work during our all-staff devotion, noting how professional and impactful the shots were and how seamlessly they fit into the message. It was incredibly rewarding to see my creativity recognized in such a meaningful way.
Delivering Results
Beyond Expectations
After just seven months at ICR, I was honored that my boss recognized my potential and entrusted me with directing the Media and Marketing Christmas Address. I carefully planned the entire filming schedule, ensuring we stayed on task and even finished ahead of schedule over the course of two full shoot days. Time management and organization were key throughout the process, both during the shoot and in post-production, where I developed a detailed editing timeline to ensure every element was completed on time.
After the project was complete, my boss shared that he had never seen anything executed so smoothly on the team before, which was incredibly humbling to hear. This success was truly a collaborative effort, and I’m grateful to have worked alongside such a talented team to bring this meaningful project to life.
