I’m an award-winning documentary editor and creative producer with over 15 years of experience shaping emotionally resonant, story-driven films. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling and human experience, with a particular sensitivity to complex, nuanced subjects. Alongside my filmmaking career, I am currently completing a master’s degree in clinical psychology, which informs how I approach narrative—especially when working with themes related to mental health, caregiving, identity, and lived experience. I bring a trauma-informed, ethically grounded lens to the editing process, ensuring stories are handled with care while still delivering impact. I have extensive experience working with interview-driven documentaries, weaving together vérité footage, archival material, and character-led storytelling to create clear, compelling arcs. I’m also skilled in crafting teaser trailers and pitch materials that support funding, partnerships, and festival positioning. Collaborative by nature, I work closely with directors and producers to refine story structure, pacing, and emotional tone—while also being highly efficient in managing feedback and delivering polished cuts to professional standards. I’m particularly drawn to projects that aim to create meaningful social impact, and I would bring both creative rigor and deep respect to a film exploring autism, caregiving, and underserved communities.
