Audio

During her time in music school, Alexis discovered her love for audio. Her audio journey began when she was a technician for the Daniel Recital Hall at California State University, Long Beach.

In this job, she ran live audio for church services every Sunday morning. Responsibilities for this position included running sound for all Sunday services – sermons, readings, and music worship. In addition, she ran live sound for special events and concerts. Alexis is currently working from her home recording studio on several music production projects.
