About me
I am a highly creative, technically proficient documentary editor with over 8 years experience in a wide range of genres and formats. I have a passion for cutting compelling human stories and I am committed, patient and enthusiastic in delivering my work. My thorough knowledge of the film production process means that I am confident working under pressure and meeting deadlines whilst applying excellent attention to detail. I am an outgoing, approachable individual and enjoy working directly with directors, clients and as part of a post production team, whilst also being confident working to my own initiative. I have an adaptable skillset and have become confident in many facets of post production including motion graphics, colour grading and post production sound. Since 2015 I have also operated as a post production manager, managing Orillo Films post production workflow and investment in post equipment.

  • Gumtree 'Hype Girl for Hire' | Commercial
    Gumtree 'Hype Girl for Hire' | CommercialA mockumentary style commercial for Gumtree which parodies traditional 90's celebrity endorsement, featuring comedian and YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg. This was a fast turnaround piece and It was great to spend a day in the edit suite collaborating with director Chris Kirtley. Although the film was scripted, the talent were great at improvising and adding in additional lines so we had a lot of fun selecting the best material and condensing it down to two and a half minutes. As well as the mai
