About Me

The Person Behind the Board

I'm an Audio Visual & Media Technician based in Brooklyn, NY with over six years of hands-on experience running in-house AV production for weekly public events and live broadcasts.

From mixing live sound and operating cameras to managing multi-platform livestream pipelines and providing on-site IT support, I bring a calm, detail-oriented approach to every production environment I work in.

I've grown up in this work — starting as a volunteer and building real-world expertise in audio, video, and live event technology along the way.
