“The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics — the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room.”
— Orson Welles

Toronto-based editor working across unscripted television, commercial, documentary, branded content and short film. My work sits somewhere between instinct and precision, shaped by experience on both the creative and technical sides of post-production.

Whether I’m cutting a scene, building a workflow or solving a problem somewhere between the two, I care about the same thing: clarity, rhythm and making the final piece feel effortless. I've worked across broadcast and independent productions, with experience that runs from the first day of media through to final delivery.
