I'm a senior-level video editor, expert storyteller, and creative collaborator with a knack for getting first cuts approved. I shape TV commercials, promos, and branded content from rough footage to polished, on-brand stories that connect with audiences. I work equally well with minimal direction or in collaborative environments, and I bring a positive vibe to every project. I actually enjoy client calls, and I thrive on turning raw footage into gold while keeping projects on time and on budget.
