“The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping… 
And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake — or not.” 

 The late Philip Seymour Hoffman











This is the part where I’m supposed to say I watched Star Wars at age three, picked up my dad’s VHS camera, and from that moment on, I knew I was meant to be an editor.

Yeah… that’s not my story.


Before I found my passion for film, I actually wanted to be a chef. My plan after high school was to move to France and learn the culinary arts. But in my senior year, I took a TV production class—and that one class completely changed my trajectory.


Fast forward 25 years, and I’ve edited everything from Emmy-nominated documentaries and unscripted adventure series to intimate character-driven doc projects. I’ve shaped television shows, feature films, commercials—and most recently, a psychological sci-fi thriller called SYNC, which is currently screening on the festival circuit.

I’ve worked closely with first-time directors to help bring their vision to life. I’ve been handed mountains of footage with nothing more than the direction: “Go find the story.” I’ve fixed it in post, met impossible deadlines, pulled all-nighters, and recut scenes to fine-tune performance—adjusting timing, framing, and rhythm until every moment landed just right.


In every scenario, I bring a deep understanding of story structure, character motivation, and pacing. I thrive in high-pressure environments, and I’m just as comfortable working independently as I am collaborating with producers, directors, and all key players that are involved with projects.


When I came across that quote from Philip Seymour Hoffman, it clicked. I may not be plating dishes in a Michelin-starred restaurant, but I’m still that chef taking those raw ingredients, adding structure, a splash of spice, a hit of tension, and serving up a final dish that moves, entertains, and sticks with you.


I look forward to collaborating with you on your next project.
