Editor

Storytelling Expert 🎬

Across all formats, my goal is to make every frame serve the story and evoke a response that lingers. I bring a deep sensitivity to tone and an intuitive sense of pacing, especially in drama narratives where silence, rhythm, and subtle timing can carry the weight of a scene. In documentaries, I focus on authenticity—finding the emotional throughline and building a structure that honors real moments. For branded content, I translate core messages into emotive storytelling that connects with audiences on a human level.

Creative Collaborator 👥

Collaboration is at the heart of my editing process. I prioritize understanding the director’s vision and aligning with the project’s goals. I'm a natural problem solver—able to adapt quickly, troubleshoot efficiently, and offer thoughtful suggestions that enhance storytelling, pacing, and overall impact. My goal is always to support the creative vision while bringing fresh perspective and clarity to the edit.
