Heli is a film editor with a Master of Arts in Film Editing from Aalto University. She has worked in both documentary and fiction, editing several documentary shorts, including All the Light That Remains (2025), Fabulous Cow Ladies (R&A Audience Award 2024), Goodbye Words (Hot Docs 2023, IFFR 2023), Granada (R&A New Wave Award 2022), The Land That Rises and Falls (Visions du Réel 2021), and Että tuntisin eläväni (R&A Audience Award 2019). Most recently, she was part of the editing team for her first feature-length documentary, Silent Legacy (2025), which will be released this year.

Her approach to editing is content-driven—she trusts the process and lets the material lead the way.
