Profile
I am a highly experienced editor with over 19 years working in the industry. I’m passionate about my craft and have an excellent understanding of storytelling, pace, visual awareness and attention to detail.
My work is wide ranging and consists of many areas including broadcast programmes, documentaries, promos, commercials, factual entertainment, scripted comedy, sport, reality TV, web films and trailers.
I have delivered to most major broadcasters including Netflix, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, BT Sport, Discovery and Film Four and have also worked for many famous brands, Rolex, BooHoo, Westfield and UEFA.
I can be left to work independently or work closely with clients. I’m confident to express my professional opinion and add my own contribution to improve an edit.
I have a keen eye for detail and have the technical knowledge and experience to achieve results. I’m quick and can work to tight deadlines.
I have an education in art and graphic design and have a designer’s eye.
I have worked in busy environments and as part of a team. I’m organised, punctual, conscientious and have good working relationships with staff and clients.
