I've worked as the Director of Content for the US Women's National Soccer team - producing their long form series - Behind the Crest. I've also worked for NBC and Peacock where I filmed and edited multiple Emmy-winning documentaries and TV series. I have been hired personally by Late Night host Seth Meyers, Chicago Cubs owner Laura Ricketts, and sports stars like Max Scherzer and Jared Allen. I am an expert editor and colorist and have edited everything from 90 minute documentaries to TikTok videos. My greatest skill is storytelling. Every decision I make while editing keeps the central story in mind. But my background in art and music production allow me to also think creatively.
