Freelance Video Editor

• May 2021 - Present

Video Editing | Video Post-Production | Adobe Premiere Pro | Adobe After Effects | Adobe Audition As a freelance Video Editor with Local News Network, I edit video journalism pieces covering special events and other community news in Southwest Colorado. I use stock video assets along with project-specific a-roll and b-roll to tell news stories in a comprehensive and objective view. When I lived in Durango, I also solely created a video journalism piece covering the 49th Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. For this project, I scheduled and conducted an interview with the event coordinator, shot a-roll and b-roll of the event, wrote the final edit script, performed voice-over, and edited the final video.

Digital Marketing Specialist

• Nov 2021 - Aug 2023

Digital Marketing | SEO | Copywriting | Content Management| Google Analytics | Looker Studio Reporting At Bluetent, I managed content and SEO projects for over 15 vacation rental businesses. The work I completed for my clients consistently brought in increased organic search traffic, often right alongside increased transactions and revenue from that source. For my content marketing clients, I primarily wrote blog posts, travel guides, and intro copy for vacation rental taxonomy pages. I also updated homepages for my clients' websites with optimized copy and eye-catching visuals, and I updated event feeds of the sites that had them. For my SEO clients, I reviewed and updated all pages on client websites for search engine optimization. This included writing meta descriptions, writing alt text for images, implementing keyword optimizations in copy, adding relevant header tags, and submitting pages to Google Search Console for indexing. I also used SEMrush and Google Search Console to identify any technical SEO issues that might arise, and then fix said issues. Lastly, for all my clients, I either contributed to or wrote up monthly digital marketing reports on my own using Looker Studio and Google Analytics. I would analyze year-over-year data (or month-to-month for newer clients) and present it in a comprehensive report summary alongside data visualizations for web traffic, conversions, and keyword rankings.

Content Coordinator

• Feb 2020 - Nov 2021

Content Management | Video Marketing | Video Production | Social Media Marketing | Copywriting As Content Coordinator at Mild to Wild, my primary responsibility was producing video marketing content. I researched topics, wrote scripts, shot a-roll and b-roll, edited videos, and published videos to the company's YouTube channel and website. These video projects ranged from trip promos to travel guide videos on Mild to Wild's areas of operation. On several occasions, I managed multi-day shoots in remote wilderness areas of Colorado and Utah on Mild to Wild's extended rafting trips. For these shoots, I had to coordinate with the river guides and other marketing personnel on how best to capture footage of rafts going through river rapids sections. I also protected and managed all camera equipment throughout these multi-day river trips. On some trips, I also supervised another marketer as we worked together to shoot photos and videos. Outside of video production work, my other main function was managing Facebook and Instagram social media accounts for Mild to Wild. This involved creating posting calendars for each month, scheduling unique daily posts in advance for the week, regularly conducting research for trends and hashtags, and creating annual analytics and competitor social media reports. Lastly, I was responsible for maintaining Mild to Wild's brand voice across the website, social channels, and email campaigns. I provided feedback and copy edits for all new webpages as well as optimized pages for SEO. On occasion, I also wrote blog posts when the main copywriter was away or working on other projects.
