I've been a professional editor since 2010, collaborating on a wide range of projects including feature films, documentaries, branded content, and more. In addition to editing, I’ve worked as a producer and director, bringing stories to life from concept to completion.
​
My passion for film began at thirteen when I snuck onto the set of A Beautiful Mind while it was filming in my hometown of Princeton, New Jersey. I ended up befriending the sound mixer, who let me shadow him for the afternoon. Experiencing the camaraderie, excitement, and creativity of a film production left an indelible mark on me — and meeting Russell Crowe wasn’t too bad either.
​
I pursued filmmaking at Bard College, where I developed a deep appreciation for post-production. I love the art of crafting compelling stories and collaborating with fellow producers and directors to realize their visions. Whether in the edit bay or on set, storytelling remains at the heart of everything I do.
