I am a professional audio editor with over twenty years of experience in media production. My university training was as a cinematographer; I was of the last generation of film school students to train almost wholly on celluloid and magnetic tape stock. However, I’ve since acted in a variety of roles in the not-for-profit world producing promotional and documentary video, writing curriculum and leading international cross-cultural immersion teams. Somewhere in there I also did post-graduate work in Human Ecology (the study of people in their natural or built environments). I’ve spent the last decade working for one of the largest teacher unions in Australia as their in-house media producer. I built and operated the union’s in-house sound studio, produced hundreds of hours of podcasts and managed the tech for large-scale live broadcasts to tens of thousands of members.

I’m now returning to my film roots to focus on dialogue editing for motion picture and television. Dialogue in film is the primary means of communicating the narrative of a story; however, it’s often overlooked in the process of production. I help shape the sonic experience of the listener to clearly communicate the message and emotional bearing of the story.
