I am a London-based editor with extensive experience working with international broadcasters including ARTE, ZDF, and BBC. Over the past several years, I have edited both long-form documentary content and hourly news, managing complex post-production workflows as well as fast-turnaround edits under tight deadlines. Working across these different environments has made me highly adaptable, resilient, and comfortable under pressure. I have more than 10 years of experience using Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro. My work regularly involves handling large volumes of footage, organising media, syncing and preparing projects, and ensuring smooth post-production processes from ingest through final delivery. I have worked on a wide range of documentary subjects, all of which required a structured, detail-oriented, and collaborative approach. Having moved to London 1.5 years ago, I have already gained ongoing experience working with both ZDF and the BBC, and I am now looking forward to collaborating with more clients and production teams. I am flexible and equally comfortable working remotely or on-site.
