My experience in broadcast television and video post production spans over thirty years and covers a broad spectrum of programming.For the past eleven years I have been employed as a freelance Avid editor and have worked on Gemini nominated and winning television series. This was preceded by a successful online editing career, which culminated in the position of Supervising Editor for a post production facility. My strength is story telling, I enjoy contributing to the creative process, and working with music is one of my fortés.
