RESUME

With over two decades of experience in website design, video/audio editing, animation, and project management, I thrive on creating and transforming ideas into reality. As the manager of the Recorded Sound Archives, I love time traveling through music while blending my expertise in both the creative and tech worlds.

Proficient in Windows and Macintosh operating systems, Adobe Creative Suite, Sound Forge, HTML, CSS, PHP, and Final Cut, I’ve worked closely with clients and colleagues to provide hands-on technical support, manage databases, and lead projects to successful outcomes.

Let’s collaborate and bring your vision to life—no challenge is too big, and no idea too crazy!
