I have been working as an assistant editor since 2016, and have worked extensively in all stages of post-production in a variety of formats and budgets. I excel at using technical expertise to create smooth workflows that can efficiently handle the shifting daily requirements of large productions. I also have experience supervising other assistant editors, delegating tasks without micromanaging. I'm looking for work as a lead assistant editor with the possibility to expand into editing opportunities. Imagine Entertainment Los Angeles,
