(Ireland)
I engage in the study of sound at the intersection of art and technology in every industry where sound plays a role. I received a Graduate degree in Art & Technology from the University of Limerick in Ireland in January 2020. Previously I lived in San Francisco, California where I offered my support as a Volunteer Research Assistant, Organizational Communications Consultant and Creative Sound Technologist practising Immersive Sound Healing massage therapy. As a Volunteer Research Assistant, I provided support for non-profits the Mediate Soundwave festival, SF MusicTech Summit, The Future of Money & Technology Summit, Codame, Game Developer’s conference, Grey Area for Technology & Arts, SF Green Film Festival and the Women's Audio Mission (WAM). As of now, I work for Hap Recruitment within promotions and as a bartender for the Electric Picnic festival in Ireland. While in the USA, I promoted for the Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) festival as a massage therapist for Do Lab’s DirtyBird campout, Yellow Brick Road (YBR) and Yoshi's jazz club in SF. I have also enjoyed co-producing yoga and sound healing retreats where I offered massage therapy. My plan is to further my education within sound, music and audio technology while continuing to further develop my skills within recording, coding and arts practice as well as an immersive sound healing massage therapist.

To saunter, to be slovenly (The Dialect of Cumberland – Robert Ferguson, 1873). Rarely used in Cumbria now but has a meaning of to walk slowly, to amble, to walk with no particular purpose. Used for example in the ballad Billy Watson’s Lonnin written by Alexander Craig Gibson of Harrington, Cumbria in 1872 “Yan likes to trail ow’r t’ Sealand-fields an’ watch for t’ commin’ tide, Or slare whoar t’Green hes t’ Ropery an’ t’ Shore of ayder side “(Translation: One likes to trail over to Sealand Fields and watch for the coming tide, Or slare over to where the Green has the ropery and the Shore on the other side) Billy Watson’s Lonning (lonning – dialect for lane) still exists and can be found at Harrington, Cumbria.
