South Orange, New Jersey, United States

At SOPAC, I have a hybrid role where I’m either mixing FOH or managing the stage and mixing monitors! When I’m running FOH, I mix on the Yamaha QL5, and while mixing monitors, I work on the Midas M32 console.

Rahway, New Jersey, United States

At Hellhound, I contribute to the maintenance, management, and utilization of Audio/Visual gear both in the workshop and at onsite events. Hellhound brings a focus to every factor in setting up a successful event, whether it’s live music or a corporate conference. This includes staging, lighting, video, audio, RF, Dante networking, and more! From behind-the-scenes planning to adjusting on the fly to fulfill a client’s event needs, I apply and enhance my skills as an A/V technician to ensure each event runs smoothly.

Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

Entrusted by the City of Hoboken, I work with a team of dedicated audio engineers to orchestrate and run audio for outdoor live events. These are primarily music performances and occasional movie nights, serving the Hoboken community all summer. Expertise includes transportation of live audio equipment, delegation of stage setup, cable management, signal flow, audio-visual technologies, adaptability, live mixing, mic placement, and more!

New York, New York, United States

I’ve expanded my responsibilities at LPR to beyond just audio; I now contribute in other areas of event support as well! As an Event Specialist, I greet the artists when they arrive with all the items on their rider, which I’ve shopped for, gathered, and prepared in a presentable way. After I set up the green room and make sure the artist has everything they need, I take care of hanging schedules of the run of show around the venue for employee & artist reference, prepare for guest check-in, and correspond over email with anyone that has contacted LPR. During doors, my responsibilities vary: I either check in customers and work ticketing, sell merch, or do seating by directing guests to their tables in the main space.

As an audio intern and stage manager at LPR, I help set up for live shows, which includes quick set changeovers. In the allotted time, we breakdown the old equipment, set up and mic the new equipment, patching cables accordingly, and helping run the soundcheck. During the performance, I fix any issues that arise, such as swapping out a cable when there is buzz, troubleshooting why a channel isn't getting signal, or tightening the screw of a mic stand clip. Alongside my crew, I work with artists to meet their needs and ensure they are as comfortable as possible. In addition to my primary stagehand role, I shadow and occasionally work on the AVID S6L console that LPR has for mixing monitors and mains, training to become an A2 mixing engineer for the venue.

East Rutherford, New Jersey, United States

I ran sound as audio tech for the USBands Ludwig Musser Classic Competition in both 2023 and 2024! I mixed monitors on the Midas M32R Console.

Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

Hired by my previous sound recording professor, I work in his studio to help improve its layout and efficiency. We rewired his patch bay and have completed other related projects. I also sit in on studio recording sessions he runs for bands, and occasionally mix these multi-track recordings for him. Outside of the studio, I assist with his other freelance and personal projects, such as running sound for the USA Bands Competition at MetLife, reinstalling and reconfiguring the audio console at Bergen Community College, and engineering Montclair Audio Production Club's Red Dot recording sessions. My work with Rod Shepard has provided me with an abundance of knowledge about analog audio equipment!

Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

I started my freelance photography career at Stevens Institute of Technology! For student organizations and events, I’ve been hired as a concert photographer to capture photos of on-campus music events. I’ve worked for the Student Underground Music Awareness Committee, the Audio Engineering Club, and the Entertainment Committee where I photographed the Neon Trees at the school’s annual Techfest event. Since gaining experience, I’ve also started photography at LPR, where I’ve captured photos of DeVotchka, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more. I also shoot local shows in the NYC and Jersey shore areas when I have a connection to a band. For my own enjoyment, I shoot in nature, inspired by the beautiful Pacific Northwest where I grew up.

At Bar/None Records, I contributed to several steps in the promotional timeline for Little Hag’s new album release. I gathered a robust contact list of independent radio station music directors to email press releases to, helped put together merch packs sent to record labels, and edited press release and postcard designs and writing. I also aide in web design and integration.

I contributed to the historical play “Horseshoe Empire” as an assistant audio tech and general technical assistant. I helped set up the scenes, conduct fast costume changes, and make sure things run smoothly.

I helped with local sound gigs at the United Synagogue of Hoboken by doing stage setup, breakdown, and running the mixing board. This required knowledge of signal flow, mixing, a sense of acoustics, and the ability to cater to the needs of artists.
