I’m an experienced, versatile, fast, creative editor and have been editing for broadcast for 24 years. I’m very efficient, happy to work on Avid, FCP or Premiere.

I’ve worked on a huge variety of television genres, including over 120 hours of natural history related programming. I’ve cut shows for the BBC, Nat Geo, ITV, CH4, Five, PBS, Animal Planet and Discovery, and worked for Plimsoll Productions, BBC Studios, Icon Films, Tigress, Diverse, Image Impact, Hello-Halo, Atlantic Productions and more.
I’ve edited indoors and outdoors… on a yacht in the Antarctic, at the edge of the Arabian desert, on a beach in Spain, a farm in Devon, and in many, many edit suites in Bristol and throughout the UK.

I’m currently working for Plimsoll Productions on a series I can't talk about for an International SVOD
