About
Audio/music editor working across longform narrative video and theatrical production, focused on shaping emotional beats through precise timing (delayed builds/drops, extended transitions) and cohesive mixing. Uses Audacity and Ableton/DAWs with EQ, compression, automation, crossfades, and noise reduction, and works closely with editor/producer direction to iterate quickly (typical ~1 week turnaround).
