Back in the day I was one of those pale teenagers who hung around the AV department at school, volunteering to operate video cameras for dramatic productions and speech nights. Around this time, I saw Errol Morris’ masterpiece The Thin Blue Line, a documentary which was the catalyst for overturning the conviction of an alleged murderer. The films’ striking visuals, structure and storytelling kickstarted my love of filmmaking.

Fast forward to a few years later and my short experimental film Hounded won the documentary section of the National Student Film Festival. This win helped me get accepted into the Masters of Documentary Editing course at AFTRS, learning from industry experts and veterans.

After film school I cut my teeth on a range of broadcast productions, including a stint in Alice Springs working at CAAMA on two films including The Good, The Bad and the Loud with director Warwick Thornton.

Since then, I’ve edited a wide range of productions including high-profile international series such as Mythbusters, intense sci-fi short film Thalamos and the high-octane feature doco Dead By June.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and have been a guest lecturer at VCA, tutored editing students at AFTRS, moderated Q&A’s at MIFF and hosted editing workshops at the Castlemaine Documentary Festival.
