About
I am a senior video producer, editor, and digital storyteller with 10+ years of international experience across fast-paced newsrooms and digital media platforms.
My focus is on taking complex stories from initial concept, pitch, and script to final cut and social distribution.
Whether launching original digital series, establishing smart production workflows, or handling rapid-turnaround edits, I bring deep editorial judgement, voiceover capabilities, and end-to-end execution to every project.
