Personal Statement:
After graduating, I decided to take the independent route of starting Tiger & Lilly Productions. This was a time of immense growth and self-discipline - It gave me the freedom to work on personal projects in my free time and interrogate where exactly I’d like to position myself within the film industry. After two years of dipping my toes in various waters and growing the company, it became clear to me that my passion and aptitude mostly lies in the editing room. Since then I've become a full-time freelance editor. The depth and scope of what there is to learn about the craft of editing is seemingly never-ending, and my curiosity and love for editing grows with every project. My experience stretches over a variety of projects including Short Films, Music Videos, Drama Series, Reality TV, and Ads.
