About
Senior video editor and creative director with 18+ years across unscripted video editing, motion graphics, and creative videography. I’ve led end-to-end post for broadcast and branded content—building story rhythm, refining visuals, and polishing audio so the final cut feels intentional, accessible, and high-impact.
I also enjoy elevating teams and workflows: I’ve trained and mentored editors, created continuing education paths, and helped grow post-production units from small groups into large, high-performing teams. From multi-camera livestream productions to documentary-style storytelling, I bring a steady, detail-forward approach to creative strategy, technical accuracy, and on-set calm that keeps projects moving and outcomes exceptional.
