I’m an editor and post-production creative specialising in human-centred documentary and factual storytelling. My work focuses on social issues, arts and culture, and youth-driven narratives, with a strong emphasis on shaping authentic, emotionally grounded stories that connect with diverse audiences. I’ve worked across broadcast, digital, and short-form platforms, including as Lead Editor on A New Zealand Food Story (TVNZ) and I Got You (RNZ / Tahi FM). I enjoy collaborating closely with producers, directors, and creative teams, and I’m comfortable guiding projects from early story development through to polished, broadcast-ready delivery. With a background spanning long-form factual series, youth-focused content, and fast-turnaround digital storytelling, I bring strong editorial judgement, creative adaptability, and a thoughtful, collaborative approach to every project — whether working locally or with international teams. I’m drawn to stories with heart and purpose, and I care deeply about creating work that feels genuine, considered, and human.
