Kaisa cuts beautifully, has great instincts and approaches footage with a real creative eye! I was so busy show running, I would talk to Kaisa about my ideas and very quickly she would present segments that were fantastic, that I could easily develop with her. Collaborating with Kaisa was a highlight of directing the Nova Scotia episode of BLK: An Origin Story. It was also very successful as I won a best directing CSA for that work. Her calmness, attention to beautiful details and also being excellent at structure makes her one of best editors I have worked with.

It was a pleasure to work with Kaisa, an editor who demonstrated a lot of passion, provided constructive and insightful feedback and whose creative ideas helped to shape the visual language of the series. Kaisa worked on the first episode we began editing on For the Culture and was able to navigate the numerous revisions, notes and new directions we had to take with efficiency and focus. The Business of Black Hair has been named by numerous viewers as their favourite episode in the season.
