Content & Social Media Executive · Assistant Director · Media Production

I'm a media professional with hands-on experience across social media management, on-set assistant direction, and content production for digital platforms. I'm comfortable managing client communication, coordinating shoots, and producing content end-to-end, from planning through execution, myself, on set, and in the edit.

About

I don't just produce content. I plan it, distribute it, and read the numbers it generates.

I move fluidly between the camera, the content calendar, and the client call. Over the past two years I've built a track record spanning social media strategy, on-set assistant direction, shoot coordination, and content production across YouTube, social platforms, and podcasts.

Most recently, as Assistant Director & Content Executive at LeverageX Media, I manage end-to-end content and distribution across the TCR YouTube channel, social platforms, and Spotify. I've also assistant directed on shoots for a long list of creators, plus stepped into a Creative Producer role on select projects. Earlier, at National Promozone, I worked as a social media manager, content writer, and director across several client brands. My time at All About Web sharpened my instincts on set as a photography assistant.

I'm currently furthering this foundation through postgraduate study in media at the Indian School of Media.
