Available to hire
Hi, I’m Shaun Cronin, a British-born creative with a broad background in music, audio production, photography, and language education. I thrive on turning ideas into immersive experiences, whether that’s shaping a live sound plan, editing a podcast, or capturing moments with a camera. I’m a proactive team player and a curious learner who loves mentoring others and taking on new challenges.
I’ve built a career across education, music, and travel, always aiming to deliver engaging content and meaningful connections. I’m comfortable leading projects, coordinating groups of people, and adapting quickly to new tools and environments.
