Each project is a unique experience in that I allow the subjects to reveal the shots. I learned the technical side of editing studying my BA at Virginia Tech, and the pacing from music. Growing up a piano player, I carry the rhythm and timing of music within my work. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of editing in many spaces including narrative, branded content, documentary and journalism. Post production has brought me around the world from New Delhi, India to Paris, France and Los Angeles, CA to Brooklyn, New York. I hope the next place I go is with your vision. Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
