About

I’m a hands-on post-production professional with a passion for storytelling, specializing in editing, color grading, and VFX across reality, documentary, and scripted projects. I work with Avid Media Composer, Symphony, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, delivering polished finishes for national broadcasters and streaming platforms.

From reality cooking shows to wildlife documentaries, I bring a collaborative mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and a love for cinematic pacing. I enjoy mentoring colleagues and pushing creative boundaries in post-production, while keeping a friendly, team-focused approach.
