Experience

From editing the RTS Awards winner of Best Comedy Drama Brassic, to episodes of the ever-popular Death in Paradise, I bring a thoughtful and disciplined approach to every project. My experience extends to royal and political documentaries as well as comedy and reality entertainment series, where I’ve honed the art of narrative construction whilst collaborating with others. Whether shaping comedy, building dramatic tension, or crafting engaging factual stories, I pride myself on delivering high-quality edits that captivate audiences.
