About
I am a versatile editor and graphic designer with extensive experience in editing, graphics, and social media across numerous cooking competition and travel shows for major networks like Food Network, PBS, ABC, and HGTV. I have been involved in editing popular shows such as “Chopped,” “Beat Bobby Flay,” and “Worst Cooks in America” from 2008 through 2025, and have also assisted in producing promos and managed workflows in both offline and online facilities. I thrive in dynamic environments that require creativity and precision in post-production and social media content creation.
With a strong background in media production and technical skills spanning Avid Media Composer, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and Python coding, I am passionate about blending technical proficiency with creative storytelling. I continue to expand my skills and adapt to emerging technologies to deliver high-quality work that resonates with audiences.
