ABOUT ME

I’ll keep this to the essentials. I’m a Vassar College graduate who studied film (and almost chemistry), and ultimately found my home in entertainment. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2014, I’ve built my career across production and post-production—starting as an Assistant Editor at Renegade 83 and working my way up to Sizzle Editor.

​

I joined NBC in 2017 as part of the NBC Digital Marketing team, where I edited, produced, and shot a wide range of digital content and helped generate millions of views across brand and show channels. From 2018 to 2021, I focused on NBC's television show, World of Dance—serving as videographer, on-set producer, and lead editor across three seasons, managing creative from capture through final delivery. During this period, I also helped adapt NBC franchises for emerging platforms, including developing episodic Snapchat content and using vertical storytelling to drive engagement back to broadcast.

​

In 2022, I transitioned to the NBC Entertainment Marketing team, where I currently work as a Senior Editor and Producer. In this role, I collaborate closely with stakeholders across the organization—leading creative from a post lens and producing premium content that supports key network initiatives. I stay current with emerging technologies and workflows across post-production, always looking for ways to work more efficiently and elevate the creative. While I’m a devoted Premiere Pro fan, Avid remains a long-time favorite, and DaVinci Resolve is my go-to for advanced color and tracking.

​

At my core, I’m passionate about helping stories come to life—whether that means crafting and shaping short-form creative or developing new digital formats. Whatever the medium, I’m a collaborative partner who loves building something memorable together. Let’s make something great.
