Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary professional with a background in theater sound design, audio engineering, and operations. I enjoy building training programs, troubleshooting, and collaborating across teams to deliver reliable systems and engaging experiences.
Whether on stage, in the studio, or in the field, I value clear communication, hands-on problem solving, and a friendly, can-do attitude that helps teams learn quickly and succeed together.
I have a strong aptitude for all professional DAWs, and even with productions specific programs I can quickly adapt my working knowledge with the new programs/workflows.
