MOTION  PICTURE  EDITOR

WHAT I DO

I shape grounded, character-driven stories in close partnership with directors and producers. Scripted editing demands judgment, restraint, and clarity under pressure, and the edit is where intention meets reality. My role is to help bridge that gap by listening carefully, asking the right questions, and translating creative instinct into clear, workable story choices. I approach editing as a shared problem-solving process. Together, we clarify character arcs, heighten stakes, restructure narrative, refine dialogue, and use rhythm, sound, and music to support tone and meaning. Drawing on decades of experience shaping narrative across multiple formats, I help keep the work moving forward without losing sight of the bigger picture. I am drawn to projects that explore human nature, love, and adventure, and my goal is always the same: to help directors realize their vision while supporting producers in delivering a cohesive, resonant film.

YOUR VISION

I listen to your needs and solve creative challenges

while protecting the creative vision at the center of the project,

whether led by a showrunner or director.

​

MY PROCESS 

From doing in-depth script analysis,

selecting performances that best capture the story,

manipulating music and visual effects,

to unearthing subtext and controlling perspective within a scene,

I am eager to elevate your footage to new heights. ​
 

BACKGROUND

Before focusing on editing, I worked as a director, producer, and camera operator in Singapore, gaining a practical understanding of storytelling from set to post. I bring that production perspective into the edit, where it informs creative decisions and collaboration.

I later earned a master’s degree at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, deepening my understanding of story through directing, cinematography, screenwriting, and film analysis.

FUN FACTS

One of my favorite activities outside of work is photographing wildlife. Nature offers stories rich with drama, joy, and heartbreak.

While photographing wolves in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley, I witnessed moments of courage, loyalty, and love that moved me to tears.

 

Fave movies: Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Strangelove, Punch Drunk Love,

Fritz Lang's M, Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.​
