I'm aware of how difficult it is to work and be a mom - I have an 11-year-old son - and I would love to help anyone else who is trying to get into the field.

I approach mastering a little differently than some of my peers: I spend a lot of time creating a dialogue with the artist and the producers and mixers to try and get what they really are looking for.

One thing that's really pulled me in to helping artists create their album is that I get to help them tell a story. It's about the way you frame that story and finding the best way to tell that story.

Mastering is your last chance to fix or address any issues that you may have before giving birth to this beautiful baby album or track.

I'm always excited and enthusiastic to have women join the technical side of the industry. Without making ridiculous stereotypes, which this might be, I have had clients - male and female - who said they feel more comfortable working with a woman in the mastering capacity for various reasons.
