I am a Bristol-based editor with a great deal of experience in editing short form, particularly specialising in tackling sensitive topics, including male suicide prevention, sexual harassment in schools, FGM, racial and class inequality, and the celebration of the female form.

I have spent the last few years as a series editor on multiple children’s animation series for BBC, HBO and Disney, as well as cutting numerous award-winning short films and online content for blue-chip natural history, but am looking to work on more longer form live action productions. I have experience editing drama, documentary, children’s TV, wildlife, music videos, trailers and commercials, and have a strong technical and creative understanding in both live action and animation. I work quickly, and collaboratively, giving particular focus to emotion and story in my edits.

I am proficient on Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro 7, and also have a strong understanding of After Effects and Photoshop.
