More about me
With a hybrid background in filmmaking and audio post-production, I have 5 years of experience producing, editing and mixing narrative non-fiction podcasts using Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and iZotope RX. In 2018, I independently produced an episode of This Is Actually Happening, and in 2021 I self-produced the the personal narrative podcast Chromatic Aberration. I am currently producing the limited series Belhamel, set to launch later this year. I am a multi-talented sound engineer you can trust to work independently and deliver satisfying finished products with high production value, from recording in-studio or remote VO sessions to editing music tracks and sound effects and mixing and mastering to loudness standards.
My experience in non-fiction storytelling across film, video and podcasting has equipped me with the skills to distill long-form interviews and intercut them. I enjoy organizing and ordering people's thoughts to form a linear narrative, and I’ve developed an acute sense for integrating music with voiceover narration and sound design to achieve a mood, with special attention to tone and pacing.
