About

Video Editor and Assistant Editor working across commercial, branded and long-form productions.

My work sits at the intersection of craft and precision. Building timelines that not only tell a story, but are structured for seamless delivery downstream. From offline through to conform, I focus on clarity, rhythm, and technical integrity, delivering clean EDLs, AAFs, and XMLs ready for grade and finish.

I'm drawn to the detail: pacing, structure, and the subtle decisions that shape how something feels. Whether working independently or alongside a team, I bring a calm, solutions-driven approach to fast-moving edits, with a strong understanding of workflows across platforms and post environments.

Originally from Lanzarote, Canary Islands. Grew up between the sea and open skies. That shaped how I see things: the rhythm of water, the patience it takes. It still informs the way I cut.

Beyond the edit, I care about leaving things better than I found them. For the people around me, the work we make together, and the world we're making it in.
