I have years of experience as an editor in New York working with most major networks in a large variety of formats and genres. I’ve focussed a lot of my work on development because of the tight schedules and inspiring work of coming up with new and fresh ideas. I have a strong sense of story and timing and as a musician, I have a love and understanding for sound design and music selection as well as strong audio editing skills.
