Biography


I’m a video editor working at Sky News in London, where I cut news and documentaries.

My love for the moving image goes back a long way. I have worked in Germany, South Africa and now England, on a great variety of productions including music videos, magazine shows, promos, docu-dramas and more. My interests and focus evolved organically, having left school with a desire to make films and finding my home in post-production.

This journey included a four-year humanities degree in Cape Town (where I graduated top of my class), editing work in Johannesburg (where I won an award for best promo), a master’s degree at Central St Martins (awarded with distinction) and finally led to my present position at Sky.

I take pride in adding real value to the projects I work on, getting involved in the theory and arguments that shape the story we are telling. And my past exposure to designers and artists from around the world has helped me sharpen my understanding of visual design, structure and narrative.

These influences ensure that I make a strong contribution to my projects: the hour-long documentary "Libya: The Stolen Children" received a prestigious RTS (Royal Television Society) Award nomination (2011) and the 10-minute "Siege of Zawiyah" won a Golden Nymph for Best TV News Item at the Monte Carlo television festival, beating Channel 4, ITV and BBC News.

Beyond editing, I am fascinated by the ideas, technology and innovation and will shape our future. My MA degree project involved the design for a new, immersive computer interface. I drove Sky’s entry into Second Life in 2007 and am currently researching ideas for a mini-documentary series.
