JHERNIE
I am a freelance video editor and media specialist based in Hawai'i. Originally from Waimea, (Hawai'i Island), I migrated to New York City to follow a passion for the arts. It was there that I began to combat disparities in tech and media through my work in virtual reality and video editing.
I moved back home to Hawai'i in 2018 to create opportunities that I did not have when I was growing up. I aim to serve my community through narrative building, storytelling, and educating.

My cultural background lends me a keen eye for storytelling nuance and integrity.
I've worked with Stance, the Malala Fund, Ladies Get Paid, and the New Rochelle IDEA Lab where I worked on a experiential documentary about Hula, and Hawaiian culture.
My personal work has shown at SXSW, Independent Filmmaking Project Minnesota, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Film Festival, and I'm currently editing my wedding video.
