I've been editing, producing and writing for film and video since 2001.

After apprentice-editing on the award-winning PBS documentary "Maquilopolis," I began freelancing for independent filmmakers, as well as non-profit and corporate clients, and the occasional television show and drama.

So far, I've worked on projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Smithsonian Institute, International Relief and Development (IRD), the Kreeger Museum, HGTV, the Heinz Endowments' Creative Heights Initiative, and the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, among others.

In spring 2011, I completed work on the feature documentary "Big Banana," which I edited, as well as wrote and co-produced, and which has been touring North America and Europe.

More recently, I've worked on “Breaking the Rules,” another feature documentary.

In addition to editing short and long-form fiction and non-fiction, I'm a strong story producer, a versatile writer, a seasoned interviewer, and a resourceful researcher. I think that 30-seconds or 30-minutes, real or fiction, a good story is what you make of it.

I'm self-directed, but thrive as part of a collaborative creative team, and I also enjoy interacting and consulting with clients.

I'm organized, dedicated, think on my feet and am learning new technical, creative and business workflows all the time.

For the first several years, I edited on an Avid Composer, then I had a mix of Avid Express Pro and Final Cut Pro projects. In recent years, it's been Final Cut, though I look forward to working with Avid again, as well as Premiere Pro. I'm comfortable with both Mac and PC.

I've edited a wide variety of formats and frame rates including PAL, NTSC, mini-DV, DVCPro HD, P2, HDSLR, 16mm and others, and I can shoot 2nd camera as well as run field sound.

Since 2010, I've been priviledged to be VP of Programming for Women in Film and Video, DC (WIFV-DC), which has me producing and coordinating a couple of professional development programs &/or networking events every month, and participating in the organization's governance.

Originally from Montréal, Canada, I'm bilingual (French/English), and have dual Canadian/US citizenships.

I obtained a B.F.A. in Cinema, at Concordia University in Canada, and a M.Sc. in Sustainability, in Pennsylvania.
