I'm a filmmaker and editor with 2 years of hands-on experience in film, working across narrative, experimental, and collaborative projects in an academic production environment. I have contributed to upwards of 20 films, primarily through school-based productions, while also supporting peers' passion projects that have gone on to be submitted to film festivals. My primary focus is on editing, where I take a story-first approach to shaping footage into clear, intentional, and emotionally grounded work. I bring a strong understanding of pacing rhythm and structure to every cut, informed by experience working with both digital formats and 16mm film. Editing is where I synthesize creative vision and technical detail, ensuring the final film serves its story and audience. In addition to editing, I have experience in directing, writing, and producing, which allows me to approach post-production with a holistic perspective. Having worked across multiple roles on set, I understand how decisions made during writing, directing, and production affect the edit, and I use that insight to collaborate effectively and anticipate creative intent. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy helping projects reach their full potential, whether that means refining a narrative in post or supporting ambitious independent work. I'm driven by curiosity, craft, and a commitment to continuous growth as a filmmaker, and I'm always looking to expand my experience through meaningful creative and professional collaborations.
