Description

After graduating from Canterbury Christ Church University, where I majored in Film studies, I started working for ITN Productions as an Edit Assistant and quickly worked my way up to a Senior Editor position. This has given me the opportunity to cut a variety of projects in Advertising, Digital and Broadcast Documentaries and also a chance to work with some of the most professional and creative people in the industry.
I have several credits across all of these divisions as an Offline Editor, working on Avid and Premiere whilst also utilising my After Effects skills when needed.
The wide variety of content I have worked on has given me the versatility and confidence to meet tight and demanding deadlines with a high standard of technical skill, creativity and storytelling.
