About

I’m an innovative video editor and compositor based in Halifax, Canada, with experience bringing complex visual elements together into cohesive, polished final compositions. I enjoy collaborating with artists, directors, and supervisors to understand a project’s vision and deliver high-quality work on schedule. My production experience includes animation, short-form content, and projects for major entertainment platforms and networks.

I’m comfortable working across Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Avid Media Composer, Photoshop, Toon Boom Harmony, and DaVinci Resolve. I take pride in maintaining organized project files, responding thoughtfully to feedback, and finding creative solutions for each shot. Outside of production, I enjoy golf, camping, reading, following hockey and baseball, and learning German.
