I am a versatile drama, unscripted, and commercials editor, director, and writer based in Auckland, New Zealand. With a passion for storytelling, I most recently served as a story editor for Warner Brothers, contributing to high-profile episodes of Married At First Sight and RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, among others. My recent work includes editing the short fiction film Find Where I Belong, which garnered selections at prestigious festivals such as NZIFF, Maoriland Film Festival, Show Me Shorts, The Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, and secured the Best Short Fiction award at FIFO.
I also edited the TVNZ On Demand series The Eggplant, which won critical acclaim, earning 1 gold, 5 silvers, and 3 bronze at the 2021 Axis Awards. In 2020, I was honored with a nomination in the Directors and Editors Guild of New Zealand's 'Best Editor' category, alongside co-editor Arielle Sullivan, for our work on Girls Rock, directed by Morgan Leary.
In 2022, I was selected to participate in a prestigious Post Production Lab, mentored by the esteemed editor Annie Collins. This experience further honed my skills and deepened my commitment to the craft of editing.
In 2020, I edited Money Honey (Director Isaac Knights-Washbourn), a film that not only secured a spot at the 2020 Berlinale International Film Festival but also won the Wellington UNESCO City of Film Award for Best Film. My work has spanned television, news, advertising, factual programming, and drama for nearly a decade.
In 2013, I directed and edited The Sun Hates Me, which was staff-picked and featured on Vimeo, marking an early highlight in my career. Two years later, I co-directed and edited #Losing, selected for the NZIFF. My 2020 short film The Circle Of Willis was featured in genre film festivals, including 'An International Night Of Horror', 'Italian Horror Fest', and the 'Terror Fi' film festival. Driven by a relentless creative spirit, I dedicate every available moment to escaping the routine of paid work, crafting films that are both strange and beautiful.
When I'm not in the edit suite I'm composing and performing with Grecco Romank.
