Roxanne Potvin

Dartmouth,Nova Scotia

Summary

I am a versatile audio engineer with over 20 years experience as a musician and songwriter, and 6 years in podcast editing and production. These skills combined help me create experiences that keep the listener interested and engaged.

I thrive on creative collaboration and a desire to surpass the expectations of my team and clients, while striving for great sound quality, especially in remote or less than ideal settings.

Additionally, I am fluently bilingual in English and French and work regularly with clients in both languages.
