This has giving April a well-rounded perspective on how sound fits into both the production process and creative decision-making.
April is is also the author of “Finding Your Career in the Modern Audio Industry”, a book that examines how professionals build careers in audio—whether through traditional paths like music and film or unconventional applications in emerging technology, sales/marketing, product design, and beyond. By unpacking the influence of personal interests, strengths, and priorities, she highlights the many ways audio skills can lead to unexpected career opportunities.
Beyond traditional roles in audio, April is also interested in AI’s evolving role in creative work and everyday life, particularly how it can streamline workflows, reduce friction in decision-making, and unlock new ways to interact with technology.
April holds two degrees in sound (Master’s Degree in Sound Recording, McGill University; Bachelor’s Degree in Music Production and Technology, University of Hartford) and a certificate of Business Entrepreneurship from Santa Monica College.
