I am an independent Television/Film Editor, Documentary Filmmaker, Photographer, and Media Consultant with over 30 years of experience.  

 

I have completed thousands of hours of original programming for television cable networks, independent film producers, government agencies, corporations, trade associations, and non-profit organizations.  The genres range from long and short documentary films, reality television series, promotional infomercials, educational videos and entertainment productions. 

​

My edited projects include clients from Discovery Channel, TLC, National Geographic Television, Travel Channel, HGTV, and the Cooking Channel, to name a few.  In addition, I have produced, directed and edited the award-winning documentary short film "Through Chinatown's Eyes: April 1968". I also produced and edited a collection of short films about Chinese American Veterans and a digital archive series called "Flashback: Oral Histories of DC Chinatown" https://1882foundation.org/archive/videos/flashback-chinatown.  My passion for storytelling continues to drive me to create content highlighting the immigrant experience in the United States with a primary focus on the Chinese American voice. I have also produced and edited an award winning feature-length documentary called "A Tale of Three Chinatowns". For more information, www.threechinatowns.com.

​

I am proficient in High Definition, 2K/4K workflow, and have strong technical knowledge with 3rd party software, compression formats, and DVD authoring.   I can edit on Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid, and Final Cut systems.  I also know Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Lightroom, and Media Encoder.

​

When I am not editing, I love to travel.  I enjoy shooting landscape photography with my Sony A7III camera. 

 

I work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and live in Silver Spring, Maryland.
