When I was in film school at Toronto Metropolitan University, I like to say I chose editing because the visual representation of story deeply spoke to me. But if we’re being honest, I mostly wanted to avoid standing around on set for fourteen hours a day. Turns out, that excellent process of elimination was the best decision I’ve ever made.​
​
After graduating film school, I was missing that ocean fresh air and moved home to Vancouver. That move launched my career into editing for television. On the west coast, I edited for some of Canada’s top factual production companies including Paperny and Force Four Entertainment. For three season I edited the docudrama series Yukon Gold which aired on History TV and The National Geographic Channel in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K.
​
I knew my heart wasn’t going to be in reality TV for long, so I applied to the Editor's Lab Program at the prestigious Canadian Film Centre. I hoofed it back to Torrona (that’s Canadian for “Toronto”) and for the next six months worked with directors, writers, composers and producers from across the country. Through those collaborations, I was able to push my boundaries in the craft of editing and created life long friendships and connections.
​
Since completing the fellowship at the Canadian Film Centre, my career has focused on comedies, thrillers and horrors. This seems to be the best way to channel my general goofiness and love of all things cinematically weird. After editing on the final season of Kim's Convenience I joined forces with Blue Ice Pictures on their sci-fi teen series Astrid and Lilly Save the World. From there I moved on to editing two seasons of the SYFY/Bell Media series, SurrealEstate, as well as feature documentaries including a four part doc series on black music in Canada and a feature doc on a group of senior citizens making a horror movie.
​
I am passionate about shaping stories because I believe entertainment and compassion can be married together in any art form, even if it’s through a couple of laughs or a jump scare.
And sometimes, I really can’t believe I get paid to do what I do.
