I am an editor specialising in documentary, factual and character-driven narratives, but with experince spanning music promos, branded content and shorts.

With over nine years of experience, I have collaborated with high-profile clients such as the BBC, UEFA, Vogue, Puma, and Universal Music Group. These projects have honed my technical skills and creative vision, enabling me to excel in both short and long-form productions.

What I love most about editing is the ability to control the pace, rhythm, and musicality of a story. Editing is where the narrative truly comes alive; when done well, it becomes invisible, guiding the audience through the film's emotions without drawing attention to the craft behind it. I take pride in shaping a story so subtly that, if no one notices my work, I know I’ve succeeded.

My career goal is to focus on editing long-form film and television. I am currently seeking opportunities in this area, including roles that allow me to assist experienced editors, as I am eager to continue learning and growing in my craft.
