Born in Chandigarh, India, I grew up in the UK. I speak Panjabi, Hindi/Urdu, and some French, and have edited films in Farsi, Polish, Tamil and Greek.
I hold an MA in Editing from the National Film and Television School, where I was a Toledo Scholar. My student films have been shortlisted for two Grierson Awards and a Student Academy Award, and screened at BAFTA- and Oscar-qualifying festivals worldwide. I also hold a BA Hons in English Literature from Oxford University.
Before retraining at NFTS, I worked for 15 years across feature film production, theatre and artists’ moving image. My firsthand knowledge of working on sets and with actors has been a boon in the cutting room.
My approach to storytelling is visceral and analytical. I relish exploration in the edit - from grappling with structure to shaping character, tone, rhythm and feeling. I especially enjoy projects that play with genre and form.
