I've always loved film, and I found myself making shorts and YouTube videos, gradually honing my craft. Now, with nearly a decade of professional editing experience, I bring a wealth of skills to every project. My expertise spans narrative structure, pacing, motion design work, and research, and I have a particular passion for shorts. I enjoy working on narrative edits the most because there are so many effective ways to structure them. One of my proudest moments was editing my first theatrically shown short, of which I completed all the VFX. When approaching a new video project, I tackle it from the ground up. I organize footage, gather the necessary B-roll and music, and put together an assembly. I lay the groundwork for the final product and continue refining it until it's ready for posting within the deadline. What truly distinguishes me as a video editor is my unwavering respect for others' stories and visions. I have a unique ability to bring their narratives to life, while still infusing my own creative voice. I find immense joy in the collaborative process and the satisfaction of creating something that is greater than the sum of its parts.
