About Me!
Hello, and welcome to my portfolio! I’m Riley Whittington, a passionate creative specializing in content production and story-first video editing. I recently graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Media: Broadcast Video Production.
Throughout my academic journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, ranging from scripted and unscripted YouTube series and shorts to live broadcasts. My work has been recognized with multiple Best Picture awards at film festivals, as well as The Murphy Award for excellence in service through production.
I have hands-on experience in videography, pre-production, content writing, and editing. I am proficient in the Adobe Suite, and hold certifications in Premiere Pro and After Effects, from Northwest. Below, you can read testimonials from those I have had the pleasure to work with.
Loosely Related is one of the most creative and entertaining shows on KNWT that I can remember — an awesome concept executed at a high level.

Riley’s vision makes any ambitious idea seem approachable and doable. More than that, her energy and kindness make any stress-filled project enjoyable. Working with her is a genuine treat for all involved.
-Adam Bochart, Instructor of Mass Media at Northwest Missouri State University
Riley is creative, precise and a delight to work with on projects as her focus is on always getting the best story. She’s the perfect balance of being intentional and laser focused, while also making everyone around her feel at ease in exploring their own abilities and creativity. Any time she asked for my assistance on being a part of her latest project it was always an easy yes for me as I knew it would be fun, energizing and that I would be pleased with the end product.
