MOTION  PICTURE  EDITOR

WHAT I DO

I shape grounded, character-driven stories in close partnership with directors and producers. The edit is where intention meets reality, and my role is to help bridge that gap: listening carefully, asking the right questions, and translating creative instinct into clear, workable story choices.

I approach editing as a shared problem-solving process. Together, we clarify character arcs, heighten stakes, restructure narrative, refine dialogue, and use rhythm, sound, and music to support tone and meaning. I’m drawn to projects that explore human nature, love, and adventure, and my goal is always the same: to help directors realize their vision while supporting producers in delivering a cohesive, resonant film.

​

YOUR VISION

I listen to YOUR NEEDS and SOLVE your creative challenges. 

I am always ready to explore new ideas and color outside my comfort zone. Whether it's working with directors, producers, or addressing network notes, I am adept at implementing solutions that align with your vision.

​

MY PROCESS 

From doing in-depth script analysis,

Selecting performances that best capture the story,

Manipulating music and visual effects,

To unearthing subtext and controlling perspective within a scene,

I am eager to elevate your footage to new heights.

​Though my list of scripted credits may not be very long, I have the experience, sensibility, and skills to excel in the role. Please see my selected work.
 

FUN FACTS

One of my favorite activities outside of work is photographing wildlife. Nature offers stories rich with drama, joy, and heartbreak. While photographing wolves in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley, I witnessed moments of courage, loyalty, and love that moved me to tears.
