I’m a passionate film editor and artist with a diverse background in design and technology. From graphic design to filmmaking, I love learning and applying new skills to bring stories to life. I wrote, directed, and edited the award-winning short film Essentials of Survival, which ignited my love for film editing.

Candace Duffy Jones produced a 30-minute video for our charity swim event that was held in 2023. This involved putting together footage shot from multiple cameras, including drones. She pieced this together to create a coherent story. The finished project premiered at a local theater and is also available online. Candace was a pleasure to work with.
