ABOUT ME

MY STORY

With over 15 years of experience in the editing world, I've had the privilege of working across a diverse range of projects, from high-octane trailers to compelling narrative arcs. My career began as an assistant editor, where I cut my teeth on both unscripted and scripted content including Drunk History and Brooklyn 99. These formative years laid the foundation for my transition to Netflix, where I’ve spent the last 8+ years crafting and editing some of the most iconic trailers on the platform.

At Netflix, I’ve had the unique opportunity to collaborate as both an editor and a creative partner—concepting bold ideas, pushing the boundaries of innovation, used data to help drive creative decisions and working cross-functionally with teams to elevate every project I touch. For me, editing isn’t just about fine-tuning footage; it’s about shaping a story and finding the magic that brings it to life.

My passion lies in not only creating but also in fostering collaboration with talented individuals who inspire and challenge me to elevate the work to new heights. Whether I'm working solo or with a team, I’m always focused on pushing creative boundaries while staying true to the core vision.

Let’s create something unforgettable together. I currently reside in Montclair, NJ and am available to work in remotely or in the NYC area.

Also, no I’m not a dog but I have two that I love very much.
