Video editing is a essential and often overlooked skill nowadays. More and more people need video for their business, carreers, hobbies or other personal projects, and the easier way to make a video go from amateur looking to professional looking is to improve the quality of the editing. Besides that, things like a good workflow, asset organization and other good practices when editing will speed up the edit and make the process as a whole more efficient.

In my classes, I believe in understanding the student's needs for video editing and thus curating the content I teach to fit those needs.

With a Master's degree from TAI School, and having taught two courses there since 2024, I now offer one-on-one tutoring to help you improve your writing and let your ideas take flight. And all in English. As an American with real-world Hollywood production experience (on films like The Neon Demon and the Oscar-winning Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), I bring not only a solid foundation in narrative and storytelling, but also practical insight into how your writing influences production, performance, and even financing.

Having lived in Spain for almost a decade has given me a global perspective on film and a deep understanding of international and cultural narrative paradigms. With three short films screened at international festivals (and a fourth premiering this year), I can confidently guide you toward stronger, clearer, and producible writing that stands out and, hopefully, comes to fruition. Not confident in your English? No problem! With extensive experience teaching the language, I'll also help you with translation (from Spanish, of course) so your writing style becomes more fluid and natural.
