I'm a Senior Video Editor and Producer with more than a decade of experience shaping documentary, branded and human-centred content, from story development through to final delivery. I gravitate toward work that is meaningful and well-crafted, whether it is a fast turnaround edit or a longer-form piece.
My approach combines strong narrative instincts with technical precision and a collaborative, grounded working style. I have collaborated with diverse teams and taken the lead on projects as both producer and editor, across both local and international productions where deadlines are tight and stakes are high.
I am most energised by thoughtful work that values clarity, care and creative integrity. I also thrive on the variety of freelance work, which allows me to explore new styles and genres and bring fresh creative thinking to every project.
