I’m Danielle Mc Kenna, a logical, flexible Audio & Music Technology graduate who enjoys working across both calm and high-pressure environments. I’m a hard worker and a fast learner, comfortable adapting to different tasks while keeping an organised, efficient workflow. I have hands-on experience in live sound, including desk, microphone and cable management, sound checks, and troubleshooting during performances. Alongside this, I also have client-facing experience through roles like cashier/forecourt employee and bartender, and I combine that people-focused confidence with my audio skills—working with microphones, recording, and mixing in both studio and behind-the-scenes settings.
