Summary

I am an audio professional looking to expand my career in live sound. I am currently enrolled in Western Michigan University's Multimedia Arts Technology program and will graduate May 2027. In a few years, I see myself on an audio team for a national touring production. I am an adaptable problem-solver who strives to create a welcoming and successful environment for everyone around.
