Alongside my work in documentary storytelling, I’ve gained solid experience editing short films, trailers, journalistic pieces, and social media content. I have a strong sense of dramaturgy and know how to build engaging narratives that resonate with audiences. I work confidently across different formats and enjoy shaping stories through rhythm, structure, and emotion.
