Summary

I am a creative music tutor with a sound engineering background, specializing in recording, editing, and mixing. Throughout my experience, I have recorded my students and finalized their pieces by applying advanced mixing techniques. Additionally, during my coursework in Radio and Podcast production at Macquarie University, I recorded, mixed, and produced some radio programs and interview projects. This hands-on experience has honed my skills in audio production, further complementing my ability to guide and inspire students in the world of music and sound engineering.
