About

I am an Emmy Award-winning cameraman and editor with over 30 years of international experience in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking. I’ve built my career capturing powerful, high-stakes stories in conflict zones and disaster areas while maintaining precision, speed, and editorial integrity. I bring strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, along with experience in editing content with quick turnaround for both long-form and short-form formats. Having worked for major international outlets including CBC and Associated Press, I’ve developed a sharp eye for pacing, audience engagement, and editorial excellence. I stay updated with current editing styles, platform-specific trends (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram), and thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments. I am highly flexible and open to relocating for assignments, always ready to travel where the story leads — whether it’s a breaking news event, feature documentary, or on-location production. I continuously seek new learning opportunities, welcome creative and logistical challenges, and bring a calm, solutions-focused approach to every project.
