I’m an experienced and fast freelance offline editor with broadcast and streaming credits across Channel 4, Netflix, Peacock, PBS and the Olympic Channel, working confidently across both UK and US markets. An American expat recently settled in London, I spent over a decade in the New York documentary community editing feature films, series, and branded content, before bringing that experience into the UK production landscape.

I specialise in observational documentary and factual entertainment, with a strong track record across premium long-form storytelling as well as short-form, fast-turnaround content including promos, social, branded, and corporate work. I’m comfortable moving between broadcast-scale edits and high-pressure short-form workflows, applying the same storytelling discipline, pace, and clarity across formats.

I’m passionate about tackling complex subjects and crafting them into something an audience can truly engage with and learn from. I love unearthing the unique aspects of participants and making them shine. And I relish creating kinetic visual sequences when the subject matter allows.

I also have a particular knack for finishing editing, quickly processing story needs and gelling with new collaborators at any stage in post-production — to be that fresh store of ideas and energy to help push a project across the finish line.
