I am a music technology professional with a Master of Sound Recording from McGill University and a Distinction in Electroacoustic Music Composition from Concordia University. I recently engineered the Grammy nominated album "Immersed" by Justin Gray, which is nominated for Best Immersive Album. Since 2020 I have been the Music Technology Coordinator at Humber College, Lakeshore Campus, where I engineer recording sessions for the Music Production Masterclass, maintain and troubleshoot studio gear (including an SSL Duality SE console), coordinate with SSL for component repairs, and guide the design of new music production spaces. I also adapt studio setups to meet changing class requirements, lead large multimedia productions, support students and faculty with hardware/software issues, collaborate with IT on audio systems, manage scheduling, and help plan future facility improvements. My background spans audio mixing, mastering, live sound, recording, and post‑production across theatre, concerts, and documentary work. I have mixed live performances as Front of House for TANDM, designed soundscapes for stage pieces, and served as a recording/production engineer on various projects. I enjoy translating performances into immersive soundscapes, and I stay current with tools like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Melodyne, Ableton Live, Premiere Pro, and related software to deliver high‑quality sound for shows, films, and streaming.…I am a music technology professional with a Master of Sound Recording from McGill University and a Distinction in Electroacoustic Music Composition from Concordia University.
