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. I believe my strongest traits are that I'm diligent and committed to growth.

2008 - 2012 Menlopark High School (Five Distinctions)
