Summary

With a deep understanding of music production and an emphasis on engineering, I have worked in the music industry as well as music education for over a decade. During my career I have held several studio manager positions that required great leadership skills as well as an attention to detail. The instructor positions I have been fortunate enough to hold have taught me how to efficiently and effectively communicate with people of all backgrounds and experiences. I would love the opportunity to use the skills I have acquired during my career as an Engineer, Studio Manager and Educator to continue to help those aspiring to positively contribute to the music industry. Authorized to work in the US for any employer
