About

At College of DuPage, I assisted with live sound, backstage operations, set construction, and technical theater production. I operated soundboards, microphones, and QLab for productions and events. For my senior project, “How Sound Design Tells Stories,” I removed original audio from video game scenes and developed new tracks, selecting, editing, layering, and synchronizing sounds to reinforce the visuals. At Montini Catholic High School, I led and coordinated set crew and managed production sound systems during live performances.
