Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Bella S. Hodge, a rising audio production professional and student at American University. I’m passionate about crafting engaging sonic experiences—whether for a podcast, a short film, or a multi-track studio project—and I love collaborating with teams to tell compelling stories through sound.
Beyond the classroom, I’ve honed leadership and organizational skills as a Resident Assistant, and I’ve built hands-on production experience from field recording to post-production. I’m excited to bring curiosity, reliability, and creative energy to new projects.
