About.
Growing up on a farm in Kansas I often had to find my own way of entertaining myself. When I turned twelve the path became more clear when my best friend and I began making short films using my father’s mini DV camera. We started with in-camera editing, but quickly transitioned to utilizing the family PC to edit. I can remember vividly the first time I cut a scene together and witnessed the full magic of filmmaking, specifically post production. From there, a spark was lit where I began my lifelong journey to tell stories and connect with audiences.
I am an Editor of several independent features and shorts (Head Count, Goodland, Below The Fold, Chasing Gold) with genres focused on dramatic storytelling, strong character studies, and themes of the human condition. I have additionally built a career as an assistant editor, working in commercial advertising on national branded ads at the highest level (Anheuser-Busch, Corona Beer, Planet Fitness, Facebook). Working in advertising has been an incredible benefit to learn the importance of collaboration with the Editor, as well as the agency, to best fit the needs of the client under tight deadlines.
Throughout my career, the experience gained has helped build me into a formidable assistant editor. I understand the complexities of the role, as well as the responsibilities of the cutting room itself. My passion and focus is to create meaningful stories and deliver the best results for the team. From the technical to the personable, I am always looking for ways to best serve the editor and client when it comes to the story. My passion in this field continues to grow and has been a proven asset to filmmakers in meeting their creative vision.
