I’m a senior film and television editor specializing in premium documentaries, nature programming, true crime, and high-end factual series. I bring clear structure, confident pacing, and strong editorial judgement to demanding projects, and I’m trusted on pilots and flagship episodes to help set tone, story approach, and workflow when stakes are high and time is tight. My experience spans the full production and post pipeline, including field directing, location shooting, interviews, and drone work. I’ve guided projects from ingest through assembly, conform, online, colour, and mix supervision to final delivery, ensuring consistency, clarity, and creative intent across complex, multi-part productions. I work comfortably in collaborative, remote, and multi-editor environments, contributing hands-on editing while also helping teams navigate editorial decisions and problem-solve story challenges. I value efficiency without sacrificing craft, and I’m known for maintaining quality and perspective when projects get complicated.
