I started making films at the age of 12, initially editing using a trusty VHS machine and the pause/record button. Later I thankfully discovered non-linear editing and shot, produced, edited and directed a number of award-winning short films. It was through this that I decided to settle into the role that I always found the most enjoyable and most rewarding: editing.

 | After completing a BA in Film & French with First Class Honours at Southampton University, I gained important cutting room experience as an Editing Trainee on Batman Begins. While cutting shorts whenever I could, I did various jobs on features, such as The Da Vinci Code, and in postproduction facilities until I was offered a place on the National Film and Television School's two year MA, specialising in Editing. I gained invaluable experience at the NFTS working with a wide range of directors and on a variety of projects. I graduated with a Distinction at the beginning of 2007. |

During two intensive years at the NFTS I learnt a huge amount about the art of editing and feel I really proved myself a dedicated, supportive and skilful Editor.
As a freelancer, I have done some editing on a feature film version of Philip Pullman's The Butterfly Tattoo and I have cut commercials for Coke Zero, Lynx and Compare the Market (Meerkat). Recently I edited a short film called Storage, which was in competition at the 66th Venice Film Festival, and three episodes of a new channel 4 drama called Cast Offs, a mockumentary-style series about a group of disabled people who are marooned on a remote island for a fictional reality TV show, which has been nominated for the RTS Programme Awards 2009.
I am currently editing a 3D animated/live-action children's fantasy film starring Heather Graham called The Flying Machine for BreakThru Films.

I own my own Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro edit systems and have worked with super16 / 35mm film. I am also a proficient French speaker.
