My interests are arts, social justice, our environment, mental health, music, history and empowering underrepresented voices. I'm passionate about everyday heroes around us, I love artistic projects and independent filmmakers.
​
I love to work in a collaborative environment and bounce ideas off each other.
My passion is crafting the story, I have a very good eye for design, detail, emotion and music.
​
Originally from Estonia I’ve built my career in Europe as well as in Canada, editing for film, television, branded campaigns and seeing the post-production process from creating the dailies, crafting a story to the finishing touches and output.
I work fast and have a very good concentration and attention to detail.
