I am currently the Lead Broadcast Video Editor for the WSL Championship Tour, producing and editing storytelling features that elevate our coverage of the world’s best surfers for both broadcast and socials. My projects consistently rank among the highest-performing content on WSL socials, especially the cinematic hype Opens I cut for each contest. During my tenure, WSL’s social engagement has surged, and my work is frequently highlighted by the social team as standout.
I also produce/direct/shoot/edit features end-to-end, including my original franchise “Surf Check,” an immersive on-site series that introduces each event location with a cinematic, athlete-led perspective. For my work on this series, the CEO awarded me an “Above and Beyond” award.
Across 12+ global events per season, I cut about 15 min of content per contest, including the artful Opens and features, branded content obligations, WSL Rising Tides docs (an impactful program promoting the next generation of women surfers), WSL One Ocean docs (covering WSL’s ocean conservation efforts), ads for sponsors (Marriot, Lexus, ISea, etc), content supporting the storytelling of our tour/surfers (milestone celebration videos, championship videos, retirement retrospectives, etc.), highlights, and much more.
Off tour, I’m on the editing team for Inside Pro Surfing, WSL’s action-sports documentary series, shaping long-form narratives that bring audiences closer to iconic moments in surfing history, which airs on ESPN, Red Bull TV, and international TV. I also edit brand campaigns and promos for WSL Marketing, including the 2025 marquee campaign “History Will Be Ridden.”
