Married at First Sight, Season 12

Love Island USA, Season 6

Duties include:

• Time-Sensitive Story Creation: In this fast-paced environment, I regularly worked overnight under tight deadlines to ensure that all stories were fully edited and ready for broadcast the following evening. This required a keen ability to prioritize key moments and maintain a clear narrative focus in a short window of time.
• Working closely with Editors: I worked closely with the editing team to "stitch" together segments, creating cohesive and engaging storylines. This involved writing voiceovers, selecting appropriate music (both commercial and library tracks)
• Quick Decision-Making: I consistently made rapid editorial decisions to highlight character development, conflicts, and relationships in a compelling way. This required a deep understanding of the show’s tone and narrative, as well as the ability to adapt quickly to unexpected developments.
