Key Strengths

  • Longform TV music editing for highly dynamic, emotionally intense scenes (America's Most Wanted, 5 years)
  • Seamless cross-cutting between contrasting tones (sad/frantic; violence vs discovery) without breaking immersion
  • Strong Pro Tools-based post-audio workflow: dialogue/VO first, then SFX, then music; loudness and dynamics focused
  • Experienced at restructuring/looping music to remove lulls and hit scene beats while keeping edits musical
  • Fast iteration with producer notes; prioritizes changes to meet deadlines without quality slipping
