About Me
I’m an ambitious and responsible assistant editor with a strong background in project coordination and a proven ability to manage complex digital workflows. I have a B.A. in Film Production and a minor in animation from Loyola Marymount University. With over four years of hands-on experience, I've worked as as an assistant editor, editor, and sound designer on various projects, including short films, documentaries, and film trailers.
​
My expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer, combined with my attention to detail and ability to thrive under pressure, allows me to consistently meet tight deadlines in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
​​
I’m passionate about storytelling and dedicated to enhancing the post-production process, always seeking new methods to improve organization and efficiency. Whether I’m working on-site at events or in the office, I bring a proactive, problem-solving attitude to every task.
