Summary
As a recent graduate with a deep passion for the intersection of music and film, I am fascinated by the power of sound to elevate storytelling. Music is a transformative tool that enhances narratives, shapes audience perception, and evokes emotion—whether by reinforcing a character’s motives or setting the tone of a scene. My background includes hands-on experience as a radio host, sound designer, and audio crew member, allowing me to develop a strong foundation in audio production and sound curation. I thrive in collaborative environments where creative synergy brings projects to life. With expertise in research, organization, and communication, I am committed to refining my skills in music supervision, with a keen focus on music licensing, publishing, and synchronization. I am eager to contribute my passion and expertise to projects that harness the full potential of music in visual storytelling.
