I am an experienced film editor committed to telling intimate, compelling and important stories.

My feature documentary credits include Is There Anybody Out There? which premiered at Sundance 2023. Following its cinema run in the UK and Ireland it was available on Netflix, and is still available on Prime Video, BFI Player and Curzon Home Cinema.

In 2025 A Bear Named Wojtek was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Animated Short. This was followed by We, The Hated, which recently premiered at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2026 as the Opening Night Film.

My broadcast credits include Life and Birth (BBC 1), Surgeons: At the Edge of Life (BBC 2) and Italia 90: When Football Changed Forever (Channel 4). I’ve also worked extensively in development editing, creating tapes that have led to several commissions. I’m a graduate of the National Film and Television School in the UK and a visiting tutor.
