I'm an accomplished editor and executive producer with two feature films, multiple commercials, and social media content including short form reel content under my belt. I bring a wealth of experience in every phase of production, from cinematography and directing to editing and color grading, and I’m passionate about crafting films that resonate. As the executive producer and editor of the award-winning Australian feature documentary Take Your Dream (available on Amazon Prime), I’ve honed my skills to deliver impactful stories across genres. My recent project, Lettre de SIMA for composer Ahmed Salah Morsli, was recognized by Forbes Global News as a "World Class Music Video." I specialize in on-site production and remote editing, frequently working on music videos, short films, events, and commercials. From big budgets with Red cameras to quick mobile shoots, I approach every project with a commitment to quality and creativity. With every film, I aim to create a piece you can proudly showcase, one that effectively delivers your message and captures your vision. I’m open to travel for the perfect shot and always ready to take on new challenges.
