Award-winning documentary editor, producer, and creative mentor known for shaping culturally resonant, socially impactful films and series.
My practice spans feature documentaries, episodic nonfiction, editorial consulting, and brand storytelling—including work with Airbnb’s creative team—with a focus on building storytelling spaces that center underrepresented voices and foster inclusive dialogue.
My credits include Couples Therapy (Showtime), The Disappearance of Shere Hite (Sundance), Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (CNN/HBO), and Crip Camp (Higher Ground/Netflix), which earned an Oscar nomination, Sundance Audience Award, Independent Spirit Award, and IDA Best Documentary. I’ve been nominated for editing honors by ACE, IDA, Cinema Eye Honors, and Critics Choice, received a Special Mention for Editing at DOC NYC, and was awarded the Karen Schmeer Editing Fellowship.
Beyond my editorial work, I’m a dedicated mentor and story consultant, supporting directors, emerging editors, and documentary teams through project development, structural guidance, and creative problem-solving. I’ve also built a strong presence in film and event programming (Indie Memphis, Memphis Brooks Museum of Art), served as a juror for Cinema Eye Honors, the IDA Documentary Awards, and the Chicago LGBTQ+ Film Festival, and frequently appear as a panelist, moderator, visiting artist at Universities, and podcast guest for Sundance/Adobe, Art of the Cut, Cutting Class, and Shoot & Splice.
