I’m a filmmaker, editor, story producer, and photographer with over 10 years of experience working in the creative industry. I’ve edited both narrative and feature documentaries, commercials, and short films, which have screened at festivals worldwide. My work includes the critically acclaimed and Emmy nominated Southwest of Salem (Tribeca Film Festival World Premiere), a feature documentary about four Latina lesbians wrongfully convicted of gang-raping two little girls in San Antonio. Most recently I edited Shoulders Deep, a short experimental dance film about Hurricane Harvey and the effects of environmental racism, which won best film at Dallas VideoFest. Other credits include working as an assistant editor and primary archival researcher for Paramount Network's Revelations of Waco, a six-part documentary series in support of Paramount's scripted drama Waco. I also served as a co-editor + associate producer for Above All Else, about the Keystone XL pipeline, which premiered at SXSW. I’m currently based in Seattle and have also edited corporate and branded content for companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and National Geographic.
