My professional journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence in sound design, audio editing, and teaching, with a strong focus on innovative pedagogical strategies.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in sound mixing for television, film, and digital platforms, working on projects featured on major networks such as Discovery Channel and Amazon Prime.
