I’m a Brazilian documentary editor based out of Los Angeles. I have worked on a pretty wide variety of styles and content, but my focus has always been on having strong characters and an engaging story. Some subjects that I enjoy are environmental issues (I have a lot of experience on projects about the Amazon, for example), art, music and science, but I tend to geek out on whatever subject I’m working on. I like serious or brainy films, but I also have a knack for comedy - I always want the audience to experience deep feelings, whether it’s by crying, reflecting, or even laughing. I try to make my projects express my own amazement with the absurdity, tragedy and beauty of the human condition.

I've been working in documentaries for over 20 years, starting off as an assistant editor while I was still a student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. I learned my trade working on several award-winning independent documentaries and programs for PBS, learning from some of the best editors in NYC. I transitioned into editing around 2008, working for companies like Art:21, Vice and several independent projects. In 2012 I moved back to Brazil, where I kept working on documentaries for public television and cable, and also branched out into scripted content. I've been in Los Angeles since 2020, and I am eager to get into the feature documentary and docuseries world here.
