I'm a seasoned editor with extensive experience shaping documentary and lifestyle programming for national networks. I specialize in scripted and unscripted storytelling, guiding post-production from concept through final cut on shows such as Trading Spaces, Tanked, and Xploration series. My work emphasizes pacing, clarity, and strong narrative through creative editing, color correction, and close collaboration with producers, directors, and clients. Based in Philadelphia, I bring a proven track record of meeting tight deadlines, managing multi-episode edits, and delivering broadcast-ready cuts. I'm comfortable on set or in the edit suite, proficient with Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and color workflows, and I enjoy turning raw footage into engaging stories that resonate with diverse audiences.
