About

I’m an audio engineer specializing in sound design, dialogue cleanup and audio post-production for spoken-word content. I have experience editing and placing VO, cleaning recordings, and working from AAF/OMF sessions in Pro Tools to deliver clear, broadcast-ready audio. My background in television and documentary production has trained me to maintain consistent tone, pacing, and loudness across long-form content.

I’m comfortable working remotely, collaborating with teams, and picking up projects mid-production while meeting tight deadlines.
