About
I believe the best edit suites are built on trust, honest conversation, and a willingness to explore ideas without ego.That's the environment I strive to create on every project, regardless of budget or genre.
I've found that the strongest work comes from trusting instincts and exploring what's unique about a story before trying to shape it.
My work spans independent features, series and long-form, but the fundamentals remain the same: sharp storytelling, thoughtful collaboration, and creative problem-solving.
I am a member of the DGA, DGC, IATSE Locals 700 and 891, and ACFC. I hold dual citizenship in Canada and the United States.
Process
“The script is my North Star. My job is to mine the strongest version of the story, regardless of where the footage leads.”
