About

I am a dedicated Audio Engineer with 8+ years of experience across live sound, event production, and AV system operations. I have international training and a strong focus on safety, teamwork, and delivering consistent audio quality in high-pressure environments. I am open to relocation to Canada or Europe.

I have led audio operations for churches and venues, deployed line array systems, troubleshooted in real time, and trained volunteers to ensure smooth event delivery. My experience spans concerts, corporate events, nightlife venues, and weekly broadcast-style services, and I excel at collaborating with lighting and video teams to create seamless productions.
