A little bio.
With over a decade of editing experience, Jessica got her start assisting on indie narrative films such as Anesthesia directed by Tim Blake Nelson. Since then, Jessica has edited long form series for Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, FX, and Amazon. She has cut series such as the twice Emmy nominated, Gaycation with Elliot Page. Her work with Vice on Showtime, ‘India Burning’– an investigation of the country’s Muslim human rights crisis – earned the Dupont Columbia Award for excellence in journalism.
Comfortable with story producing and pre-production, she helped set the tone and structure of National Geographic's, Perpetual Planet. Recently, she edited the Netflix true-crime series Sins of Our Mother, and FX’s The Secrets of Hillsong.
In 2023 she cut and story produced the menstrual activism film, Periodical which premiered at SXSW and Hot Docs then ran in theaters before landing at Peacock. Vogue said “this film about periods should be required viewing.”
A technical editor she can work of series from prep to delivery. Avid and Premiere are her favorites, but DaVinci isn’t too far behind.
