“I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.”
— Walt Disney
As a craft editor with a background in theater, dance, and music my editing is kinetic, lyrical, and intentional, blending a strong use of music and movement to enhance and elevate narrative. Whether under tight deadlines or extended projects, I create best-in-class content that engages audiences across platforms by finding the strongest material, developing captivating story arcs, and approaching every project with a fresh eye and unique style.
My greatest strength lies in my understanding of narrative structure and my ability to develop and craft unique visual languages. I am often brought in by producers in pre-production and development to help shape scripts and conceptualize tone and style before editing begins, and strive at working collaboratively every step of the way.
When not editing, you’ll either find me nose-deep in a book, tirelessly deciding what record to put on the turntable next, snuggling my dogs, or making my costume for whatever Halloween is upcoming.
