About

Head of Post-Production at Aberdeen Story Co. in Chicago.

Ten years behind the timeline, the last two leading editorial and finishing at Aberdeen Story Co. Focused on pacing, preserving character texture, protecting performance, and running a calm review process from assembly to final deliverable.

A DePaul University Film & Television alum. I work directly with directors, producers, and story leads — from paper edit and assembly through conform and delivery.
