I am a freelance audio/music editor with 4 years of industry experience. In my career thus far, I have worked collaboratively to assist small teams of audio for film and television professionals in the creating of high-calibre, bespoke soundtracks. In my time with SONA: Sound Collective my training in sound and dialogue editing culminated in my creating of soundtracks for published extra scenes of Amazon’s The Wheel of Time. And in more recent years, my current journey as an assistant music editor under composer Rael Jones has seen me develop a diverse portfolio of composed and commercial music edits featured in Amazon’s “My Lady Jane”, and your very own “This City Is Ours”. My Education at the University of Surrey's Institute of Sound Recording afforded me hands-on experience with a myriad of audio equipment and recording techniques, with which I created my first recording portfolio and went on to be awarded the Dave Fisher Prize for prowess in classical music recording.
