I am a multi-disciplinary audio professional and educator who has spent years shaping sound across music, film, theater, radio, and podcasts. I started teaching music lessons in my teens and built a career in audio production across studio and live settings, eventually moving into higher-ed teaching after more than a decade of hands-on work. I currently balance scores, post-production, and production sound with teaching, collaborating with artists and students to explore sound, storytelling, and technology. I'm eager to continue educating others and contributing to creative projects.…I am a multi-disciplinary audio professional and educator who has spent years shaping sound across music, film, theater, radio, and podcasts.
