Queensbound is a poetry project by, for, and about Queens, featuring emerging and esteemed poets writing about the World’s Borough.

My job is to receive raw recordings of writers reciting their poems and complete all audio restoration and post-processing to ensure each recording is clear, consistent, and of the highest possible quality.
Then, I compile the poems into a podcast featuring the readings, host narration, and immersive sound design to tie them together.

I am the producer and editor of Benefits Like A Boss podcast, from Nonstop Health.

For each episode, I first receive the raw recordings of the host and guests, and perform all necessary audio post-production, signal processing, and audio repair/restoration. Then, I edit each episode for clarity and time, and make any adjustments dictated by editing notes from the client.
Finally, I mix, master, and deliver the final episode ready for publication.

When the project began, I served as the client’s consultant and producer, advising them on every step of the process, from how to begin a podcast, how to record, how to conduct interviews with guests, and how to be good presenters. I also consulted them on the necessary equipment that had be obtained and trained them to use it.

Recorded during the annual Iceland Airwaves festival, Northern Rising offers a glimpse into the chaotic and colourful experiences of Iceland’s most exciting new artists.
Each episode is an immersive narrative that tells the story of these musicians. I spend a few hours with them, moving around the city and discussing everything from music to life in Iceland to the world itself.
With each episode, the listener feels as if they’re right there having a chat with these brilliant musicians and amazing people.
