EDITING STYLE //

My editing style is nuanced, contemporary, and deeply rooted in emotion. I firmly believe that the core of filmmaking lies in eliciting emotions, and the art of editing is the instrument we wield to evoke those profound feelings.

As a story-driven editor, I prefer to let the characters take the lead in narrating the story, immersing the viewer into their world. I pride myself on being detail-oriented, and I won't settle until every element is impeccably perfect.

Count on me to deliver results, as I excel in communication and thrive on collaborative efforts.

I find editing to be a challenging yet rewarding endeavor—and that's exactly why I love it.
