While I was in film school at Toronto Metropolitan University, I would like to say I chose to become an editor because the art form and visual representation of story on screen really spoke to me. But actually, I just didn’t want to be standing around on set for fourteen hours a day. That process of elimination was probably the best decision I’ve ever made. ​
​
After I graduated 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 the reality TV world 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 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 (based in Toronto and South Africa) on their sci-fi teen series Astrid and Lilly Save the World. From there I moved on to editing two seasons of another SYFY/Bell Media series, SurrealEstate, as well as feature documentaries and a four part documentary series on black music in Canada.
​
As an editor I'm passionate about shaping stories for the screen because I believe entertainment and compassion can be married together in any art form, even if it's through a couple laughs and a jump scare. And sometimes, I really can’t believe, I get paid to do what I do.
