Biography: 

I worked in film and television production for over 30 years. 
Presently I am an offline Avid Editor and Director. I work with
 Avid Media Composer (since 1996) and Avid Express Pro (since 2000). 
In 2003 I received a Peabody Award for “Monkey Trial”.

I was born and raised in communist Romania, obtained an MA from the University of Bucharest and immigrated to United States.


For the next 30 years I worked mostly for Public Television;
 first in Boston at WGBH and then in Lincoln, Nebraska at NETV.
 In my 25 years association with Nebraska Public Television, I edited
 some of their most prestigious national programs, including three 
episodes of American Experience (“In The White Man's Way””,
 "72 Days Around The World”, “Monkey Trial”), as well as “Oregon Trail”,
“Profit The Earth” and many others. Throughout my career I received
 numerous awards including the Cine Golden Eagle in 1990, 1991,
 1992, 1994, 1997, the Gabriel Award in 1987, 1991, 1993, the Tuck
 Media Award, 1978, the Golden Hugo Award, 1987.


In 2003 I received a Peabody Award for “Monkey Trial”.

I am cultured, perceptive, worldly, patient, methodical, well organized and 
in constant wonder about life and people. I will provide you with innovative,
 creative ideas at every step in the editing process. I am also passionate
 about my work and very opinionated but I am always ready to accept
 other people ideas. I am looking for new opportunities and challenges.
