Welcome
A few words...
I grew up dreaming of working with the Muppets. Since watching a behind the scenes documentary on “Snow White” when I was five, I wanted to be one of those behind the scenes people making magic appear on screen. Through high school and college, video production was my “thing” and I searched for every opportunity to increase my skills and knowledge. Since then, I have crossed the continent and globe as a Production Manager and Editor/Preditor. I enjoy dropping into different worlds to taking masses of raw media to find and construct a cohesive story. Every production – corporate, television or educational – brings new challenges which I see as opportunities to increase my skills and deliver the seemingly impossible. I'm a proud member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild - IATSE Local 700 - a union of others who do the same.
My style is quirky, my work ethic is dogged, my projects and timelines are exceptionally well organized.
I love working as one of those people in black, creating – if not magic – entertaining pixels for the masses. You can see my production credits and some examples of my work herein. Since earning a Masters of Information Technology (with a focus on audio/visual archiving and social media) which took me to Italy for a year as the librarian for FSU's International Program's Study Center in Florence, I have diversified my experience to include writing, website building, photography, and other forms of storytelling. In addition to great adventures, new locations, excellent meals, and beautiful vistas, I'm always open to a great gig in tv.
Video Production is my first and most longstanding passion... and now as the mother of two especially, I still hope to one day work with the Muppets.

Work Examples
A great deal of what I have edited can't be published online due to content restrictions unfortunately. One of these days I'll finally have some downtime to put together a reel, in the meantime here are a few exaples of my work of which I'm proud. If you don't see a particular style of piece you're interested in, contact me

Improv song with Glorilla from one of the episodes of this popular 15-camera, 90+ audio stem, stage show I've cut.

Professional Credentials
Freelance Editor
Final Cut Pro and Premiere “Preditor” (2007 - Present) -- Member IASTE Local 700 -- Over 20 years of experience in video broadcasting. My strength is in Premiere and some Final Cut, but I dabble in Photoshop, AfterEffects, Aperture and Dreamweaver – I will learn enough for the project at hand. My Post Supervisor experience and Project Coordination skills mean that in addition to a mouse-jockey-for-hire, I'm called upon to organize projects, media, and resources as well as troubleshoot problems. My geeky creds mean that I speak transcoding, compression, bitrates, FTP, html, transfer, and-- occasionally-- Instagram. As an Editor I am fully confident working in a post house suite, on-site ballroom, or on my home edit system locally or “tunneling” into a remote system. I can work closely with a Producer or independently/remotely to take concept to finished product.
