I’m a freelance video editor with years of experience shaping stories for TV and online audiences. I worked at BYU Broadcasting as a content editor, assistant editor, online editor, and editor. I’ve cut everything from short-form promos to full-length shows, always with an eye for pacing, rhythm, and storytelling. Outside of editing, I’ve been a drummer for over 20 years—and my sense of rhythm and dynamics carries into my work. Editing has a groove. I have an eye-- and ear-- for making a sequence feel seamless and natural, or giving it that extra punch. My career path also includes seven years in the solar industry, where I led teams, optimized workflows, and made data-backed decisions to solve complex issues. It’s a very different field, but it taught me how to collaborate, manage projects, and deliver consistently at a high level—all of which make me a stronger, more reliable editor today.
