​

Approach

I approach my work with a unique perspective that takes into account your needs. My style and technique are broad and flexible, developed over years of training and experience.

About

Having worked on a variety of formats, I have a great deal of experience, from cutting fast turnaround highlight packages in a matter of hours to the finite cutting and detail that is required to add drama, tension, and life to a feature film.​ 

​

I began my career in the film industry, specializing in visual effects for big-budget movies. Through this valuable experience, I refined my skills in visuals and graphics, while also gaining a deep understanding of storytelling and pacing.

​

After transitioning to television, throughout my extensive career I've had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects. However, it's been the last 13 years that have defined my expertise, during which I've focused predominantly on documentaries and reality programming.​

 

My unique talent lies in captivating audiences through immersive storytelling. With a deep understanding of narrative structure and a meticulous eye for detail, I bring stories to life. My editing style represents my unwavering passion for crafting compelling narratives that create profound and lasting connections with viewers.

​

With a deep expertise in storytelling, I have thrived both as an autonomous worker and as a collaborative team member with strong interpersonal skills. I excel under tight deadlines, consistently delivering exceptional work that encompasses narrative, visual, and technical quality.
