Emmy-award-winning Editor Nena Erb discusses with Jan Price her fascinating career, including her impressive work, award nomination, and win for the HBO original series, "Insecure!"

'Insecure' is available to stream on HBOMax.

Nena Erb, ACE, is a picture editor based in Los Angeles. Raised in an immigrant family, Nena's father wanted her to be a doctor, and her mother wanted her to be a pianist with the L.A. Philharmonic. Nena wanted to be Andy Warhol.

Armed with an art degree, a friend brought her into the industry, and she started working in various capacities in production. Her stint as an associate producer opened her eyes to the impact of editing. It combined her love of photography and storytelling into one, and she was hooked. Since then, she has edited shows for HBO, Universal, Apple, and others.

In 2016, she received an Emmy award for HBO's documentary series Project Greenlight. In addition, she has received three ACE Eddie nominations: two for her work on HBO's comedy-drama series Insecure and the third for C.W.'s acclaimed musical comedy series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Nena received her second Emmy award in 2020 for her work on season 4 of Insecure. Her parents no longer asked if she'd reconsider medical school.
