About Me
I found my passion for audio editing and mixing back in high school when I attended OCVTS Performing Arts Academy. I focused on live audio mixing, engineering, and setting up for musicals, plays, and concerts. After attending Ocean County College for two years and graduating with my Associates degree in 2022, I attended Montclair State University.
At Montclair, I branched out my audio knowledge into film, television and radio. In 2022 I joined the award winning college radio station, 90.3 WMSC Upper Montclair, and after only one semester I moved up to Production Director as well as filling in for the Assistent Engineering Director. I became a board certified DJ, and went on to host the show Rat Hour, along with sportscasting for our morning show, The Morning Buzz. I also produced the Radio Matinee, which focused on student written and performed scripts and stories. I graduated Montclair State University in 2024 with a Bachelor's degree in Film and Television with a concentration in sound and audio design.
