Hey, I’m Noel! I’m a video editor and videographer specializing in narrative work, including documentaries, YouTube content, and events. My work tells stories with accuracy and aesthetic appeal, while also highlighting beauty that might otherwise go unnoticed. I believe that, when done well, anything can become a story worth watching. I use the Adobe Creative Suite to bring visions to life, chronically doing the most for the love of the game.
Outside of editing, I teach and compete in swing dancing, am a 2x published poet, and—of course—edit for my own enjoyment. I’ve been obsessed with storytelling through video since elementary school, using iMovie and my mom’s iPad. Now, with the education, experience, and tools to bring ideas to life, I’ve only grown to love production even more.
