I’m a video editor and producer with over 8 years of experience in film production, broadcast, and sports in NYC and LA.
I specialize in creating compelling cinematic storytelling content that captures audiences and enhances engagement.
About
I currently travel the world serving as the Lead Broadcast Video Editor for the World Surf League Championship Tour, producing and editing storytelling features that elevate our live broadcast coverage of the world’s best surfers. My work has contributed to a significant increase in social engagement and I consistently deliver standout content that resonates with global audiences.
At WSL, I produced my own original broadcast franchise, “Surf Check,” an immersive on-site series that introduces each event location with a cinematic, athlete-led perspective. The CEO awarded me an "Above and Beyond" award for my initiative with this series.
Off tour, I'm on the editing team for Inside Pro Surfing, WSL’s action-sports documentary series, shaping long-form narratives that bring audiences closer to the most iconic moments in surfing history, which airs on Fox, Red Bull TV, and international TV. I also edit brand campaigns and promos for WSL Marketing, including the 2025 marquee campaign “History Will Be Ridden.”
I have a BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and work on indie film productions in NYC, LA, and around the country.

Producer | Editor - 2025
Surf Check is an original short-form feature series I developed for the live broadcasts of the World Surf League’s Championship Tour.
A local athlete guides viewers to one of the world’s most cherished surf spots as if they are a friend introducing them to the spot for the first time. They share all the beauty of the surroundings, some tips for newcomers, and insights into the culture, history, and life only the locals will know to provide viewers with an immersive, first-hand experience of visiting the wave.
