I edit both long and short-form content ranging from corporate ads and docustyle promos to narrative features and multi-cam live performances.

I chose to pursue editing as my career because it brings me up close to the human drama of life and living. Oftentimes a producer or director will hand me footage and say 'have at it'; their hands-off approach is because of their trust in me to edit together a piece in a compelling way, accentuating emotional beats. But this is just half the editor's role. Being a team player and collaborating effectively with other professionals is also paramount to making the final piece as best as it can be.

I work exclusively as an editor. I find it is a full-time job keeping up with the latest in the technical advances of postproduction as well as keeping talent and skills honed in the art and craft of editing.
