I am a skilled freelance offline video editor, with experience across a broad range of genres including non-scripted, factual,  entertainment, documentaries, archival clips shows, adverts and branded and social content.

I have over 15 years industry experience, my clients have included Channel 5, BBC, ITN, Disney, and National Geographic. My latest projects were cutting the true crime show 'The Killer at the Crime Scene' for Channel 5, and the children's show 'Reu and Harper's Wonderworld' for Milkshake! at Channel 5, which was nominated for a 2025 Bafta in the Childrens TV Non-Scripted category.  

Previously I spent 4 years in-house at the BBC, editing educational content for broadcast and for online, where my work was nominated for a Bafta. 

I am experienced in fast-turnaround projects whilst always maintaining consistently high standards. I know how to craft beautiful stories that resonate with audiences, from long-form documentaries to short-form social edits.  Highly experienced in working with sensitive content, and condensing hours of interviews down into amazing stories.  

Experienced in using: Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop
