About
Video editor/music editor-composer who shapes longform documentary storytelling through intentional cue selection and precise edits (builds, loops, stings, and tonal shifts), exemplified by a Mark Twain Connecticut piece using period-evocative piano/bluegrass/minor-key waltz to track narrative turns. Also re-scored a VH1 comedy sketch (game show parody) by replacing mismatched retro cues with modern dramatic "Millionaire"-style music using library hits/stings, and maintains consistent mixes via NLE templates with compression and limiting.

Key Strengths
- Narrative-driven music editing with detailed emotional beat mapping (archival/modern transitions, tonal shifts)
- Strong use of musical transitions and stings to punctuate story turns
- Adapts music direction based on producer/editor feedback (retro to modern dramatic parody style)
- Efficient end-to-end workflow bridging composition (Ableton) and picture edit (Premiere/Avid/Resolve)
- Consistent mix/level management across multiple edits using templates, compression, and limiting
- Dialogue-first arranging choices (keeps underscore sparse to avoid fighting dialogue)
