This year, I assisted Lisa Ferrante-Walsh, iZotope’s Senior Director of Software Engineering, with organizing a panel for the AES Show Fall 2020. Our panel, titled Evolution of Audio Products – Demystifying Innovation, used case studies to present strategies for bringing innovation into the product development process.

We brought in two experts from the audio tech industry to share their experiences, and I also presented about innovation at iZotope.

RX 8

After months of development work, iZotope has finally released RX 8! I’m so proud of all the work our team put in over the past months to get this out the door.

I worked primarily on the updated Batch Processor, a tool for applying the same chain of processing steps to many audio files simultaneously.

WAM Career Panel

Recently, Women’s Audio Mission invited iZotope to present in a career panel hosted over Zoom. It was a wonderful event! iZotope and Sweetwater both presented various roles in our companies, explained skills we look for when hiring, and offered advice to those looking for jobs. I love the work WAM is doing to provide education and resources to women breaking into the audio industry.
