I am a Sacramento-based audio professional, digital media expert, and educator with over 20 combined years of academic and industry experience. I am pursuing a M.Ed. in Digital Learning and Leading at Lamar University where I have recently earned the title of Advanced Certified Digital Educator. I hold a B.A. in Communication Studies (Digital Media) from California State University, Sacramento, an A.A. in Commercial Music (Audio Production) from Sacramento City College, and an Adult Education Teaching Credential (Designated Subjects & Career Technical Education) from the California Commission on Teaching Credentialing. I am also an Apple Teacher, a Microsoft Innovative Educator, a Certified Pro Tools HD Operator, and a Certified Radio Operator.
I am currently teaching Career Technical Education specializing in Arts, Media, and Entertainment at Highlands Community Charter School where I am fortunate to have the opportunity to help adult learners earn their high school diplomas while acquiring vital 21st century skills to better equip them to enter today's competitive workforce.
I am also a freelance sound supervisor for Madefire Studios where I help create immersive motion book soundscapes for the comic book industry (DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, Valiant), entertainment titans (Blizzard, Disney, Netflix), and Fortune 500 companies (Apple, 21st Century Fox). Please see the Professional Projects tab for some recent examples of my work.
I am a firm believer in giving back to the community and I am proud to currently serve as a member of the Cultural Advisory Council for Cal Expo and the California State Fair and was recently appointed as a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee for Sacramento County.
When I’m not working in the studio or pacing around a classroom, you can usually find me reading something by Oscar Wilde, experimenting with film photography, or in the kitchen trying new recipes and listening to Morrissey on repeat.
