Communication skills ▪ Excellent. I have worked with and trained Radio Broadcasters from over 40 different language groups. This involved clear communication in time-critical live-broadcast environments, and in the delivery of specialist technical education and training. Thus, it is my normal practice to tailor communication to wide range of individuals, with extremely varied levels of English-language and technical competency.
Organisational / managerial skills ▪ As Technical Training Officer, I was solely responsible for the logistics of scheduling training sessions across individuals with highly variable availability (almost all trainees had other employment), as well as the booking of in-demand physical studio resources. I worked independently with no direct supervision, and was responsible for the structure and design of individual training modules.

Computer skills ▪ Strong: Netia, Pro-Tools, Adobe Audition, SoundForge, Reaper, Ableton Live, and various other audio software.
