kinly — Audio Engineer
October 2021-September 2022
As Audio Engineer, I recorded, edited, mixed, and scored all aspects of kinly’s audio offerings, from Financial Education playlists to the Mastering Your Money podcast, as well as offering audio assistance on video projects. I brought a new standard to the audio fidelity, both in house and with guest contributors while seeking out and incorporating more than 50 new pieces of music to better represent kinly’s target audience. I developed and launched the Mastering Your Money Podcast which, in its first ten episodes, was already reaching more listeners than its sister show, Dollars and Sense, which had more than 18 months of a head start, per episode. I was frequently consulted across all departments for audio expertise and, in my first year at the company, was nominated for the kinly Excellence Award.
