I am an editor in LA working on longform nonfiction shows and commercials.
I grew up in Chicago and spent the first two years of my professional editing career there working on the independent documentary projects Legal Lens and Pulling The Thread for PBS WORLD Channel, as well as working on video content for other nonprofit organizations and commercial clients.
​
I moved to Los Angeles in 2020 and have since worked as an Assistant Editor on America's Sweethearts, produced by Boardwalk Pictures for Netflix, Keep This Between Us, produced by Vox Media Studios for Freeform and What Am I Eating? with Zooey Deschanel, produced by ATTN: for HBO MAX. I have also had the opportunity to work with the Oscar winning production company Breakwater Studios on The Final Copy of Ilon Specht, which premiered at Tribecca X 2024 and The Turnaround, which premiered at Telluride Film Festival.
​
In between bigger projects, I am usually editing commercials, trailers and sizzles for brands like Tudor and Wilson, and nonprofits like The American Heart Association and Greater Chicago Food Depository.
​
From 2014-2018 I attended Ithaca College as a Documentary Studies and Production major, where I produced, filmed and edited several short nonfiction films. Two of these short films, Slow City and Extended Stay, have been shown in festivals like the Olympia Film Festival and Spokane International Film Festival.
​
Outside of work I like snowboarding, rollerblading, hiking, landscape photography, biking, writing, visiting friends, going to concerts, watching movies and I'm also trying to learn Turkish.
