Bachelor of Applied Arts in media arts with an emphasis in audio production

Wichita South High School

A touring or studio musician 

It was close to home, and I liked the audio production program. 

I currently work as a studio technician at Shocker Studios. I handle any tasks in the studio, from setting up sessions, recording, mixing, studio maintenance, and helping or teaching new students with their individual studio projects.  

The Shocker Promise scholarship allowed me to pursue my studies without the financial burden. Thank you to Sheelu Surender and the Office of Financial Aid! 

College is your time to meet everyone and anyone. You and your peers are future professionals, so don’t forget to get involved, get engaged and build connections that will prove beneficial later in life. Many of my jobs and positions come from my ability to interact and advocate for myself. It’s no easy feat, but it’s not impossible.  

I have plans to attend graduate school potentially in the fall. But overall, after graduation, I hope to continue working in multimedia production.
