          I am a sound designer, engineer, and project manager based in New York City specializing in theatre, concerts, and events. I have training and experience in both the artistic and practical aspects of live and recorded sound. I am drawn to creating immersive experiences that engage and uplift audiences. I am also an advocate for sustainable practices in the arts and beyond.

          My lifelong passion for music and performance began with playing the drums and running my own mobile DJ business. I completed my BFA at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama in 2019. After graduating, I travelled to the 2019 Prague Quadrennial where I was a Featured Designer in the Emerging/Student Exhibition for my design from Alkestis. I then worked as a freelance sound designer, engineer, and technician for theatre and events in the New York Metro area and regionally. During the pandemic I produced Break A Leg!, a podcast about disabilities in the arts. In 2021 I joined the team at Audioworks Film & Theatre where I worked on various theatre, film, TV, and recorded music projects. In 2022 I started full-time at 4Wall Entertainment, where I was promoted to Department Head to lead the establishment of the new audio shop in the New York warehouse.
