I am a 23-year-old Sound Designer based in Sydney, who recently completed a Bachelor of Music and Sound Design at the University of Technology Sydney. Since 2015, I have been producing, mixing, and mastering music, while also developing skills in movie/TV sound design, game sound design, audio programming, binaural audio mixing, and 5.1 audio mixing. I am proficient in industry-standard digital audio workstations such as Pro Tools and Logic Pro X, and I have experience with Max MSP software and video game middleware. I thrive in team environments and have strong communication skills developed through group projects at university. My previous experience as a cook sharpened my organizational abilities and attention to detail. I excel in managing time effectively, especially under pressure, demonstrated both in hospitality roles including bartending and cooking, as well as meeting tight university deadlines.
