I’m a podcast editor, composer, and broadcaster with more than a decade of daily editing and production for national radio and podcasts. At KAN 88, Israel’s national public broadcaster, I produced and edited The Midnight Shift for nearly four years, delivering 600+ episodes with dialogue cleanup, noise reduction, precise pacing, and independent editorial decisions under tight nightly deadlines. I’ve also built long-form series that weave narration, archival audio, and music into cohesive 45+ minute stories. I’m comfortable editing both audio and video, and I’ve written original podcast theme music to match the show’s voice. I work well independently, adapt quickly to teams’ preferred editing environments, and am based in the United States with availability for per-episode freelance work and room for a weekly slate. I’m fluent in English, Hebrew, and German, and I bring a hands-on, friendly approach to collaborating with producers, hosts, and sound teams alike.
