I started my virtual edit studio in 2007, just as remote editing was becoming a real possibility—and a great perk for a working mom.

I love the puzzle of documentary editing—finding humor in truth, compassion in the unexpected, and uncovering the story that wasn't obvious at first. Over the years, I've edited films that have played theatrically, premiered at festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, and DOC NYC, and reached audiences through outlets including Netflix, PBS, and Paramount+. Along the way, I've received two Emmy nominations for editing and built lasting creative relationships with many of the directors I work with.

My path into filmmaking wasn't exactly traditional. I grew up just outside Washington, DC, and during college took a part-time job videotaping chimpanzees. What started behind the camera somehow turned into becoming a "chimp mom," caring for infant chimpanzees. After graduating from Emory University with degrees in Sociology and Political Science, I traveled, playing pickup soccer from Kinshasa to Lijiang, worked at Channel 4 Films in London, earned a master's degree in Film Studies, and edited my first narrative feature while living in Brisbane, Australia. I eventually returned to Atlanta, where documentaries became the center of my work.

Today I'm based in Nyack, New York. I directed and edited the award-winning short documentary The Invisible World, featuring Hudson Valley painter Mark Weiss.
