I'm a documentary-focused video editor with over 20 years of experience crafting authentic, human-centered stories through interviews, pacing, and visual storytelling. I excel at shaping narratives from raw footage using interview selects, B-roll sequencing, music, and sound design to create engaging, honest documentaries and editorial pieces. I thrive in collaborative remote environments, manage end-to-end editorial workflows—from organizing raw footage to final delivery—and communicate clearly to align creative direction and minimize revisions. My work is driven by reliability, responsiveness to notes, and delivering polished edits on tight schedules.
