Bio.

Starting in 2000 as an Assistant Editor, then as a professional Editor in 2004, I have been freelancing on various film, television, and corporate projects.

My work has aired on ABC, BET, ESPN/ESPN2, MSNBC, MSG and TV One. I've also worked on corporate videos for industry heavyweights Pfizer & Barclays.

I think what really separates me from the ever-growing sea of people who attempt to claim the title of " Editor ", is that I'm so much more than someone who just simply, " knows the software ". I like my clients to see me as a creative partner who helps to shape their vision and bring it to life.

For what it's worth, I've been using Avid products for just about a decade now and since about 2006, I've had and on again, off again relationship with FCP.
