• Passion for sound : You can talk about your favorite film, television and game sound until the sun comes up. You can’t imagine a more rewarding career pursuit than helping to tell stories through rich and memorable soundscapes.
• Comfortable with ambiguity : When changes are made, you keep a cool head and fight on, even if you don't have all the details. You're comfortable moving between projects and facing uncertainty because challenge motivates you to evolve and innovate
• A facilitation mindset : You efficiently and effectively keep projects on track by aligning the right people, materials, and support needed to get the job done.
