ABOUT
I am a highly experienced offline editor working across the film and TV industry in the UK, with a passion for documentary and helping tell meaningful stories. I have edited a number of long-form, prime time series and films for a variety of production companies and major broadcasters / streaming services, including the Lead Editor role on Amazon Exclusive docu-series, ‘Take Us Home: Leeds United’, narrated by Russell Crowe and more recently on the edit team for 'We Are Newcastle United'.
Alongside my main love of observational documentary, I have worked across a wide range of genres and formats such as archive-based, fact ent, reality, drama, experimental film and a spectrum of short-form from trailers, branded content promos, music videos and sizzles. Credits include BBC One, Two, Three, C4, C5, Sky Arts, Sky One, UKTV, Amazon Prime, DAZN and online content.
I ensure my work has strong emotional impact and have a bold sense of rhythm, with a sharp eye for crafting narrative from difficult rushes. I love building stories from the bare bones all the way to the finishing edit, and I'm experienced in both Avid and Adobe Premiere, working to tight schedules and remaining calm in high pressure scenarios.
I'm extremely personable, kind, dedicated and work to very high standards with attention to detail - all with a great sense of humour, that I find to be so important in the edit suite!
Personal interests and passions in genre include music, social issues, sport, or archive-led documentaries with any character-driven, meaningful stories from the extraordinary to ordinary people. I love digging out emotion and highlighting our unique idiosyncrasies in my work, exploring what makes us human.
