I am a Switzerland-based, Czech-raised editor with a background in dramaturgy, documentary directing and experimental film. Before I moved to Switzerland in 2020 and focused on editing, I worked altogether for over a decade as a writer and director for Czech Public Radio and as a director and dramaturgist for TV documentaries in the Czech Republic. I studied screenwriting, dramaturgy and audiovisual studies in Brno, Vienna and Prague and am currently completing a master’s in film editing in Zurich.

My editing approach is shaped by this multi-disciplinary foundation, with a strong focus on dramaturgy and storytelling.

Fluent in German, English and Czech, with understanding of Swiss German. I work with Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm based in Winterthur and available for collaborations in Switzerland or in the Czech republic as an editor or a dramaturgist.

Alongside my work as an editor, I develop, produce and direct my own independent films.

I am a member or SSFV (swiss union film and video - editing section) and SWAN (Swiss Women’s Audiovisual Network)
