About Me

I am a sound designer born and raised in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania. Throughout my life, I have always been deeply in love with film, television, and video games. I took video production classes in high school while planning to pursue a degree in journalism. By the time I started applying to colleges, however, I had realized that my true passion lay in filmmaking. I attended Rochester Institute of Technology in pursuit of a degree in Motion Picture Science. I soon realized that my interest and talent did not lie in the visual or technical field, but rather in the auditory world. To focus more of my time and energy on my craft, I transferred to the Film and Animation program in my first year. From my very first semester, I became known as one of the few “sound people” within the program. By my second semester, I had begun to spend more weekends on set than off. I started out as a boom operator, then a location sound mixer. By the end of my second year, I had taken every sound class my university had to offer, and I was consistently sought after to work on location and post-production sound, ADR and Foley recording, and surround sound, by both live-action and animation students. I worked as a teaching assistant for all of RIT’s sound classes (Basic Sound Recording, Advanced Sound Recording, and Mixing and Sound Design) for 2.5 years. In my final semester, I worked as a Freelance Audio Engineer for MAGIC Spell Studios. I graduated with my degree in Film and Animation in May 2026.
