In 2015 and 2016, I joined the Broadcast Production Technology program at Forsyth Technical Community College. This hands-on program had us hit the ground running and producing almost immediately; everything from radio spots, to narration, to underwriting and commercial writing. In this program I was able to draw from my background in music production and Twitch streaming, and it shined through in my work.

Our program went to the SkillsUSA North Carolina 2016 conference, competing in their Audio Production contest. Each of us were paired up with a partner and sent on our way to produce a sixty second spot, highlighting some of the benefits of SkillsUSA. We went around interviewing instructors and coordinators and recorded and produced this spot on-site within a few hours. My partner and I won first place, and were invited to nationals, which I was unfortunately unable to attend.

In 2012, I began exploring music production, having no knowledge whatsoever of music theory or audio production. Since then, I have been composing music off and on, slowly honing my ability and furthering my knowledge of the craft. I released an EP, Redawn, in 2016, which is available on Bandcamp, along with other releases.
