Summary of Qualifications
I have over 3 years experience as a sound designer, sound editor and sound mixer/boom op. I am a graduate from the Sound design program at the Vancouver Film School which, builds on my First class bachelors degree in Popular Music and Recording achieved from the University of Salford (UK).

I have substantial experience working in production and post sound for animations, live action productions, Internet virals and independent game titles. I am well versed in Key industry audio software tools such as Pro-Tools, Sound Forge, Sonar and Max MSP. Additionally, I am extremely competent with recording techniques, microphones and audio postproduction, including mixing, sound design, audio editing, Foley and ADR. I am a loyal and hard working individual who can perform exceptionally under pressure in a team or individually.
