Playback Tech ∙ Sound FOH ∙ Sound MON ∙ Stage Technician

I’m a sound engineer and Ableton playback operator currently based in Berlin. I’ve been in the music industry for over a decade, and hold US & German passports. I’m also part of Soundsysters, a feminist soundcrew in Berlin. We provide learning opportunities to FLINTA* people and amplify underrepresented communities.

The best part of live sound is working closely with artists, and embracing the chaos inherent in traveling productions. Doing FOH/Mons is as much of an interpersonal and creative job as much as it is technical. It’s a juggling act and I love it!
