About

I got my start as an A/V coordinator in an advertising agency, so I understand the dynamics of agencies. I worked my way up to in-house editor, before starting as an assistant in an editorial house. For over 25 years, I’ve been editing full time. I’ve also worked on several award winning music videos and feature films.

Remote and streaming edit sessions are available. I also have the ability to deliver finished products, having partnerships with colorists, after effects artists, and mixers.

I am based in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, but available for opportunities worldwide.
