I’m a London-based senior video editor with over a decade of experience shaping film marketing campaigns, theatrical trailers and social content. At MUBI I progressed from Mid Weight Editor to Senior Editor, leading workflow improvements, mentoring junior editors and collaborating with partners and external agencies to deliver compelling campaigns.
My career started in production roles and freelance editing for clients like BAFTA, ITN and Saatchi & Saatchi. I enjoy pushing creative boundaries while meeting tight deadlines, and I’m proficient in Premiere Pro, Avid, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve.
