👋🏻 About Me
Hey, I'm Katie! I make videos about social media strategy and content creation. In addition to being a YouTuber, I’m also the founder of a small video editing agency called Creatorly Media! We edit videos for YouTubers and video podcasters. If you want our help or just want to learn more, check out https://www.creatorlymedia.com. Outside of my work, I love to travel (I live part-time in a self-converted camper van!) and I have a hobby YouTube channel that documents it! https://www.youtube.com/@KatieandDan
