ABOUT

I’m a freelance editor based in South Portland, Maine. More accurately, I’m a post-production jack of all trades—motion graphics, color grading, sound editing, compositing—but editing is my passion. And as a lifelong musician, every edit is a music edit (even when there’s no music).

I spent my formative editing years in the ad agency world, cutting for clients like L.L.Bean, Perdue, T. Rowe Price, Three Olives Vodka, OxiClean, and Klondike.

As a freelancer, I've continued to work with ad clients while working more and more on documentaries and doc-style content. Most notably, I co-edited the feature film Observer, an official selection at the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival.

On top of all that, I love cutting music videos and narrative films. I'm always looking to branch out into new forms of editing. So, if you need it cut, let's talk.

My Australian Cattle Dog, Jojo, is my assistant editor. Don’t worry, she does great work.
