I'm a video editor specializing in documentary, broadcast, and digital media with a focus on editing, assistant editing, and workflow optimization. I thrive in high-pressure, deadline-driven environments and bring a collaborative, solution-oriented approach to post-production. Previously I served as NBC Chicago's Creative Marketing Producer and have helped grow projects from concept to delivery, while competing as a NCAA Division I athlete and Finnish National Championship finalist, which informs my discipline and teamwork on every project. I've co-founded Hool Studios, led the Daydream Arcade project, and produced hundreds of promotional spots for NBCUniversal Local Chicago across NBC, Telemundo, and NBC Sports Chicago. My background blends creative storytelling with technical rigor, enabling efficient workflows, clean edits, and compelling visuals across platforms.
