About

I’m a senior television editor with 16+ years in reality, documentary, competition, and character-driven storytelling for major networks including MTV, Discovery, Lifetime, FOX, BET, Bravo, TLC, History and E! I specialize in crafting emotionally engaging, narrative-driven edits across multi-camera formats and leading editorial teams on high-profile unscripted franchises.

I thrive in fast-paced post-production environments, in-studio and remote, collaborating with producers to shape tone, pacing and character arcs, delivering high-quality, story-driven content under tight deadlines. My credits span numerous hit series and specials, including Police 24/7, Jersey Shore Family Vacation, Party Down South, Naked and Afraid, Married At First Sight, Joe Millionaire, and more.
