About the Editor

Having been staff editor for 14 years, I have worked on most genres and formats on a day to day basis and have gained a great understanding of the whole post production process. This experience has put me in good stead since becoming freelance in 2010. I’m a creative editor with a passion for storytelling and good eye and ear for detail. Most of my experience is within off-lining for TV programming, focusing on Factual’s, Entertainment, Reality, Drama and Comedy, Commercials and Corporate films.
