I am a freelance editor with a highly organized approach to post-production and a passion for unscripted, documentary storytelling. I have worked across a broad spectrum of large-format shows and intimate, fast-turnaround projects, which has given me a clear sense of workflow, deadlines, and the needs of different productions. I enjoy playful experimentation when telling a story and keep an open mind to creative ways of tackling challenges. As an alumna of DocLab In Focus: Unscripted Editing, I thrive in collaborative environments and am energized by opportunities to push storytelling boundaries. I bring a calm, methodical problem-solving mindset to every project and am committed to delivering engaging, well-structured edits across formats.
