About

Editing that keeps people watching.

I focus on long-form YouTube content — food, travel, documentary-style videos. My focus is on pacing, music selection and the invisible craft of keeping retention high from the first second to the last.

I've worked with creators in the food and travel space, including a long-running collaboration with Harry Kersh of Harry's Food Tours — helping turn raw footage into polished videos that hold attention and grow channels.

“Overall it's really good — the pacing is solid and it definitely holds attention. Just a few notes on the b-roll usage and the audio could maybe use another pass, but I think we're in a great place.”
