I'm passionate about storytelling, human stories and pace.
I have over 8 years of experience working as an Editor, Assembly Editor and Assistant Editor in fast-paced post production environment and across a wide range of projects.
I've recently worked on the feature doc "The Figo Affair" for Netflix,
the upcoming documentary series "Break Point" (from the producers of Drive to Survive) for Netflix, and "Flordelis, in the name of the mother" for HBO MAX.
I have also experienced working for brands such as Google, Nike,
Red Bull TV and Faith in Nature.
I have worked in campaigns for charities & NGO's like Oxfam, WHO (World Health Organisation), Amnesty International or on the Yemen, East Africa, Rohingya and Indonesia crisis appeals for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) .

I love writing, cycling, nature and cycling in the nature.
And I have my own artisan bakery business (#CRUSTinaBread).
I'm member of WFTV - Women in Film & Television UK and
