Your audio cleaning-lady. I take your messy files, tidy them up, and return sparkling sound so you can strike that task off your to do list.

What I do & Where I've worked

I've vacuumed out background noise, dusted off peaks, and de-junked "umms" for creators like animation director Scott Wiser.

A Tidy introduction

One summer afternoon, I was in the basement, vacuum in hand, when I thought, "Tidying up is like editing." Carefully selecting what should stay and what should go.Flash forward a few weeks: while editing a podcast episode for a client, I realized I was cleaning the audio. I vacuumed out background noise, dusted off the peaks, de-cluttered the 'umms' and pauses, and presto! Crystal-clear sound, ready for posting.In 2018, I discovered my zeal for audio and video editing while collaborating on KWCR and later Studio 76 at Weber State University.After graduation, I edited all of Scott Wiser’s audiobooks and every episode of his podcast, "Directing Animation," from 2020 until it ended in 2024.Now, as The Podcast Cleaner, LLC, I'll sweep through your audio woes, leaving you free to focus on what really matters

My Experience

I interned for Scott Wiser during my final year at Weber State University in 2020, then was hired on after graduation.
Scott always recorded his episodes live on YouTube, then sent me the audio to edit for platforms like Spotify. Thanks to COVID, I had a great opportunity to learn how to work with clients remotely .
You can listen to my edits of those episodes via the link below.

After working for Scott Wiser, I moved on to part-time work for Master Lu's Health Center in Salt Lake City, filming events and demonstrations, as well as restoring some older footage. Watch my video of their 2025 Chinese New Year celebration via the link below.
