I have been involved with Audio Visual pretty much since the start of my work experience in 2008. My first real job was with an after school program as a Digital Media tutor, at this time I was also in school pursuing a Bachelor's in Music that got me into the Audio Engineering side of things. When our after school program lost funding in 2014, I moved more into the traditional Audio Visual setting in the live event/conference setting. A bulk of my AV experience comes from the live event side of things from casinos, hotels, convention centers, and concert venues. It was until 2020 that I shifted into the Higher Ed Audio Visual support setting with my current job with Central New Mexico Community College and have been learning more about the networking and integration/install side of AV.  This year I was awarded with the HETMA Prism Scholarship that has given me access to the Elite level membership with AVIXA as well as an opportunity to obtain my CTS certification. With this opportunity my current goals are obtaining my CTS and diving deep into all that AVIXA has to offer and continuing my education in Digital Media/Graphic Design. My personal interests/hobbies include music, digital media, art and listening to military veteran podcasts regarding leadership and business principles.
