I didn’t start in sound.
But after years of working on countless film sets, I kept noticing the same pattern: sound was often the last position to be filled, and rarely with the attention it deserved. So I decided to do something about it.
From that moment, I’ve been committed to learning the craft of production sound mixing from the ground up, bringing that same passion and collaborative mindset to every project I work on. As another production sound mixer once told me, “No one starts in sound, but once you end up there, you never look back.” I couldn’t agree more.
Since transitioning into production sound in 2024, I’ve worked on a range of projects including narrative, corporate, and branded content.
