Who I Am
I started working in audio as a Location Sound Recordist, soon finding work in Post Production. From there, I discovered Foley art, my dream job. Game audio, VR audio, and Ambisonics are growing interests of mine.
In 2017 I graduated film school at
Columbia College Chicago with a B.A. I currently freelance as a sound recordist [among other roles] in Rochester, NY. It's my hometown.
My work provides a strong asset in your product. Every new job is a new experience to grow my skills and sharpen my knowledge. Let's work together to create something great!
"I am a Sound Recordist and Audio Editor.
Creativity in my work is something I strive for"
What I Have Done
What I Can Do For You
Sound Recording
I've been a Location Mixer and Boom-Op for years now. I've delivered strong levels and concise products full of everything you need to round out a complete Post sound experience. I work with the knowledge of a Sound Designer in mind, even while on-set.
Audio Editing|Mixing
From dialog mixing to getting the levels just right, I can turn your rough elements into something stronger. It's all about how it comes together, so having an eye [or ear] for the bigger picture is very important. Working with clients to create their vision is the ultimate goal of my mixes.
Foley
Art|Editing
I have recorded Foley for Indie films, Advertisements, and Video games. I enjoy the creative problem solving associated with Foley. When you find a sound that perfectly matches what's on screen, that feels like such a reward. It's the most creative work I've ever done.
Film | Video
Production
As a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, I've worked in many departments, from G&E, Assistant Directing, Camera, and more. I've also made my own films: narrative shorts, experimental pieces, and a documentary in three countries.
