Senior video editor and animator delivering broadcast-ready stories with award-winning post-production and motion graphics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Video Editor and Animator with over 10 years of experience producing television-ready commercials and documentaries for specialized industries. I’ve edited 600+ documentaries, commercials, and television segments for brands like Panasonic, Quantum Systems, the NFL Hall of Fame, and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, and my work has earned 12 Telly Awards.
I lead post-production on nationally distributed series hosted by Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan, and Andy Garcia, with shows airing on CNN, MSNBC, FOX Business, PBS, and 160+ public television channels. I specialize in authentic, story-driven content—turning long-form interviews and B-roll into platform-ready, short-form vignettes—while managing complex client timelines and ensuring master files meet strict network legal and technical broadcast specifications.
I also bring creative ad direction across multiple channels and have team leadership experience, mentoring junior editors and animators through complex projects. Outside traditional broadcast work, I’ve helped grow a YouTube channel from 355K to 1.6M subscribers as a freelance editor and voice-over artist, and I contribute to a free, open-source retro gaming frontend through UI/UX design and motion graphics.
