Along the way she edited two independent features, most notably Mamitas, which was based on the short film she edited for director Nicholas Ozeki.

Since then she has edited LifeSentence for the CW, the action comedy series, Whiskey Cavalier on ABC and she recently wrapped cutting Season 2 of Apple TV’s hit comedy series Ted Lasso,
