Bio

I am an offline editor with over 18 years of professional experience in broadcast television.

I’m proficient in AVID and Adobe Premiere. I also regularly use After Effects and Photoshop to enhance my offline edits.

From short-form to 90-minute feature-length, I am accomplished in delivering premium observational, natural history, adventure, and specialist factual documentaries for national and international broadcasters, alongside prominent streaming platforms.

I have a wealth of experience collaborating with large teams, handling high volumes of media and managing pipelines with VFX providers.

Highly organised, creative, and passionate about our industry, I have been lead editor on several new series that have earned recommissions.

I’m committed to delivering the highest standard of visual, audio, and editorial quality at every stage.
