Hi, I'm Janessa! I'm a rising senior at The Frost School of Music, where I immerse myself in the world of media scoring and production. My passion lies in audio engineering, and I thrive on creating rich, professional soundscapes that bring music to life. With over three years of experience in live sound engineering and freelance music production, I love collaborating with artists and pushing my creative boundaries. When I'm not in the studio or behind the mixing console, you'll often find me exploring new music trends or mentoring fellow musicians on tech aspects in the music industry.
