Summary
I am a First Class Honours graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Sound Engineering and have gained experience in both live sound and studio production. Throughout my studies, I worked as a DJ and live sound technician for college events, where I was responsible for audio setup, live operation, and equipment breakdown. Alongside this, I have worked with independent artists and professional musicians, providing music production services including recording, editing, arrangement, mixing, mastering, and remixing. My previous roles in retail and the fitness industry have also strengthened my communication, teamwork, and customer service skills. I am passionate about audio production, thrive in fast-paced environments, and am eager to continue developing my skills within a professional sound engineering team.
