AUDIO

Kierstyn started her technical journey in Audio Design where she would mess around in Audacity, playing sounds off of a laptop. She has since honed her design and board op skills and has worked on various types of projects as the Designer, A1, A2, Playback Operator, and Sound Engineer. She has a range of experience operating for live events in Theatre, Chorus, Opera, Dance, Orchestra, Band, Concert, and Panels. Kierstyn has even dabbled in Sound Recordist projects for Film/TV.
