I’m a video editor with over 15 years of experience shaping content for Australia’s major News and Current Affairs programs at Nine. I’ve worked across 60 Minutes, A Current Affair, Today, and News, regularly cutting lead and breaking stories, long-form features, and standalone specials under tight deadlines. I thrive under pressure and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, on-air content on time. I’ve led editing teams as a Shift Leader, coordinated bulletins, and maintained strong relationships across editorial and production. My freelance and contract work includes Offline Editing for Ronde (including Events that Changed Australia, Outback Murder Highway, and Rivals), corporate videos for Fortescue, social media edits for Nextdoor, and wildlife documentary editing at Mach 1 Films. I’m comfortable working independently or in teams, with a solid technical foundation in AVID and Adobe Premiere Pro and a focus on clear, impactful storytelling with editorial integrity.
