## About

```text
At Twine, I provide audio mixing, mastering, and restoration, including dialogue cleanup, de-noising, de-essing, and spectral repair. I deliver loudness-normalized masters for streaming and ACX/Audible targets in WaveLab.

Since 2015, I’ve worked remotely as a freelance audio engineer, mixing and mastering music, podcasts, and spoken-word projects. I use iZotope RX for dialogue cleanup and restoration, and master to platform-specific loudness targets.

At Encore, I led audio, video, hybrid streaming, and recording operations for live events, serving as an A1/V1 hybrid operator. I diagnosed technical issues during shows and oversaw the on-site crew to keep operations aligned with show cues.

My background also includes operating live sound and coordinating wireless microphones at Sintesis S.A.S, and teaching recording, mixing, and editing at DNA Music. I hold a degree in Sound Engineering and a Computer Systems Technician credential.
