I’m a seasoned audio professional with a long-running background in sound engineering, music production and creative audio post. I’ve engineered and produced main studio sessions, edited for post-production and broadcast, and worked on voiceover sessions with ISDN links to international studios. Recently I freelanced as an Audio Editor / AI Systems ICT Officer, delivering audio books, film and radio content while contributing to AI system training and IT governance. I enjoy collaborating across teams to keep studio and ICT infrastructure running smoothly and to deliver high-quality audio experiences.
