Introduction
I am a self-motivated, innovative and creative film and media professional; I will go above and beyond to achieve great project outcomes. I specialize in post-production and enjoy the creative and technical aspects of film and media. Adaptability and flexibility are embedded in my work ethic, and a dedication to meet tight production deadlines. I am passionate about life-long-learning, particularly for learning new technologies and processes that revolutionize the way we work in post-production. I am deeply interested in film and television editing, and the process and effects of rhythm, instinct, emotion and psychology on the craft.
