I discovered my passion for filmmaking at a young age when I started making shorts. I later decided to focus on my favourite role - editing - and gained important cutting room and features experience working on Batman Begins, The Da Vinci Code and The Bourne Ultimatum.
I graduated with a Distinction in 2007 from the National Film and Television School's two year MA programme, specialising in editing, where I gained invaluable experience working with many directors on a variety of films.
As a freelancer, I have endeavoured to build upon my experience and abilities as an editor by choosing to work on projects as diverse as possible - including comedy, animation, documentary, contemporary and period drama - and have worked with directors including Jordan Scott, Sean Durkin, Vincent Moon, Olly Blackburn, Sam Donovan and Amanda Boyle. In 2016 I was nominated for a BAFTA Award for editing sci-fi drama series Humans.
I have my own Avid Media Composer edit system and have worked with super16 / 35mm film. I am a proficient French speaker.
WHITE LINES
"White Lines has been hyped as the hit of the summer, and even though it will not be the summer any of us were expecting I’d be surprised if this lurid, swirling, fantastically confident creation didn’t hit the spot. ★★★★", The Guardian
THE CROWN (SEASON 3)
Nominee, BAFTA Television Awards - Best Drama Series
WINNER, Screen Actors Guild - Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series
Nominee, Golden Globes Awards - Best Television Series
"Episode 9, Imbroglio review: Deliciously ripe with foreboding ★★★★", The Telegraph
"Nuanced and powerful dialogue runs throughout the series, and in the hands of the stellar cast, it makes for indelible moments", The Los Angeles Times
WORLD ON FIRE (co-editor)
"It is a beautifully turned ensemble piece, with everyone getting their time in the spotlight as we move between locations without anybody’s characters or storylines feeling underbaked... It manages to maintain a great intimacy with them all, while building outwards to give a sense of the global scale of events ★★★★", The Guardian
"A striking, witty wartime drama that feels startlingly new ★★★★", i Newspaper
THE WIDOW
"The backdrop of civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is straight out of Frederick Forsyth via John le Carré, but the plot is pure feminine psychodrama, like Gone Girl or The Girl On The Train ★★★★★", Daily Mail
"The Congolese setting and actors, playing sapeurs, smugglers and guerrillas, give what threatens to be a humdrum thriller a distinctive edge", Financial Times
BAPTISTE
"As baptisms go, Baptiste’s first standalone adventure is off to a thrillingly chewy start ★★★★", The Independent
"Taut and compelling, with plenty of twists ★★★★", i Newspaper
"The whole show suddenly spun on its axis... in a brilliantly edited scene — a fly walking around the rim of a takeaway carton, a bloodstain on a cuff. It was a bit of magicianly misdirection that transformed the episode", The Times
THE TERROR (SEASON 1)
WINNER, Satellite Awards - Best Television Series, Genre
WINNER, Golden Tomato Awards - Best Reviewed TV Horror, 2018
"Like a Masterpiece version of a classic horror movie: literate and philosophical, yet shocking and terrifically scary", TV Insider
"Ridley Scott's 'The Terror' turns macabre Arctic history into an engrossing fight for survival", Los Angeles Times
"The Terror is interested in fear itself, how it transforms us, how it turns us cruel and savage... a portrait of man and nature at their cruelest and coldest ★★★★★", Collider
RIVIERA (SERIES 1)
"Despite its pompous overcoat, Riviera has started out as a deceivingly brisk thriller which certainly holds promise", Metro
"Riviera is better by far than it seems... A curate's egg, but a deliciously runny one, and Fabergé at that.", The Observer
VICTORIA (SERIES 1)
WINNER, Golden Nymph Award - Best TV Drama Series
"Happy and glorious, Victoria makes a regal exit. ★★★★", The Times
"With its panting emotions and sumptuous costumes, this series has swept us away ★★★★★", The Daily Mail
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
Nominee, RTS West of England Awards - Best Drama Editing
"The perfect ghost story with a nice line in atmospheric dread", The Radio Times
"Fantastically stressful viewing - word to the wise, just don't hold any hot drinks", The Mirror
ENDEAVOUR ("CODA")
"Endeavour appeared to borrow much from Reservoir Dogs. This is of course welcome. A bank heist followed by a shoot-out put Morse into Tarantino territory", The Express
"The final heist episode packed an emotional punch and left fans baying for more", The Guardian
HUMANS (SERIES 1)
Nominee, BAFTA - Television Craft: Editing - Fiction
Nominee, BAFTA - Best Drama Series
Nominee, RTS Programme Awards - Best Drama Series
"A clever, high-energy thriller... There’s a complicated, realistic, interesting morality to Humans", The Guardian
"Humans does a particularly good job of creating an uncomfortably plausible setting in a parallel-present London. It allows the show not only to play on our age-old fears about out-of-control technological advancement, but also on a more mundane middle-class unease", The Independent
GLUE
Nominee, Broadcast Awards - Best Multichannel Programme
"A multi-layered thriller with heart, range and moments of real lyricism... a series which was a triumph of style and content", The Telegraph
"A show that proves that not all E4 yoof dramas need to be tiringly arch or repellently hip to anyone guilty of being north of 25", The Guardian

CARE
