About
I am an award-winning filmmaker and screen performance graduate with an MA in Film & TV Production (Distinction). I have hands-on experience across production including editing, directing, cinematography, acting, and sound.
As lead editor on HAIR, a Sparkie Award-winning documentary, I managed 35–40 hours of raw footage in three weeks using Avid Media Composer and Adobe Audition, applying color correction and sound mixing to sharpen emotional pacing. I enjoy collaborating with directors and producers on both student and professional sets and coordinating on-set logistics.
