About

I am a highly experienced freelance video editor with extensive credits across prime-time factual entertainment, reality and formatted entertainment for major UK broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. I am known for strong storytelling, pace, and narrative shaping across long-running returning series and new formats. I work well solo or with edit producers, directors and production teams to craft tone, structure episodes, and deliver under tight deadlines.

Above all, I bring a calm, solutions-focused mindset to the edit suite—no matter the challenge or deadline—and I pride myself on being a steady, creative presence in any post-production environment.
