Biography

As an adjunct professor in the Film and Recording Arts program, I teach both introductory and advanced Pro Tools workshops, guiding students through the technical and creative foundations of professional audio production. My courses emphasize the importance of session organization, signal routing, efficient template building, and dialogue editing—preparing students to properly edit, clean, and ready audio for post-production workflows.

Drawing from my professional experience in post-production, I incorporate real-world projects into the curriculum to give students practical, hands-on exposure to industry workflows. I prioritize tactile learning, encouraging students to actively engage with the material through applied exercises that mirror professional scenarios.

As a former student of this program, I bring a unique perspective to the classroom, having been in the same position just a few years ago. This allows me to connect with students and support their development with both technical insight and a clear understanding of their academic journey.
