I'm a hard-working, personable audio engineer with a passion for music and a constant drive to improve workflow efficiency. After earning a First-class Bachelor of Applied Science in Audio and Music Technology in 2022, I began applying my skills in venues across Nottingham. I value creating a positive first impression and strong working relationships. I manage my time effectively and rely on clear communication to deliver a professional, friendly service. I think logically to troubleshoot quickly and thoroughly, ensuring safe, tidy spaces for guests while meeting the needs of high-profile acts. I primarily record and mix live performances due to my history of being a live sound engineer.
