What I Am Looking For In A Mentee - Curiosity and drive! I’m in the best position to offer thoughts to someone who is self-motivated and has their own goals (even if they’re still developing), but not as much to “push” someone every step of the way or micromanage their career. Any level of experience, knowledge, and equipment is “good enough” to start now! I love working with people who are willing to take a leap into the unknown, and who enjoy growing through first-hand experience. There's no defined set of skills or arbitrary knowledge you need to start. Embrace your strengths and challenge your weaknesses!

What I Am Looking For In A Mentee - I‘d love to push FLINTA sound talent! I had great mentors throughout my career and I fall into the category of people that don't have any degrees but ended up in the best places by saying “yes, I can do this” and by delivering good-sounding results. Would love to hear of young talents that have questions regarding networking, showreels, portfolio websites. Of course a sound-nerd-tech-conversation will tick all my boxes as well

What I Am Looking For In A Mentee - Someone who wants to be excellent at editing, mixing, sound design, and soundscapes, with a real curiosity for all things audio and podcasts. If you're looking for feedback, exercises, or someone to just chat to about the world of podcast post-production, then get in touch! If you're into any of the areas mentioned, but not podcasts specifically, then feel free to get in touch. I'm sure there's plenty of overlap between mediums/disciplines.
