About

I'm a Los Angeles editor and shooter — fourteen years cutting documentary, branded, music, and narrative work, with a full post stack I run myself: picture, color, and sound. I came up making my own films, so I read a cut the way a director does — I know what a scene is trying to do before I start trimming. That story-first instinct is what I bring to someone else's footage.

On a team that means I take notes well, hit deadlines, and am comfortable owning a project end to end or slotting into an existing pipeline. I've shot and cut for cultural institutions, public-health agencies, and national brands, often as a one-person crew — the shoot day and the timeline are the same person, not a handoff. I work fast, I'm easy to collaborate with, and I'm set up for remote. Bilingual — English and Spanish.
