This team is making it possible for more women, girls, and gender expansive people to have a celebrated place in the audio industry!

Shoutout to my WAM Fam! ❤️❤️❤️

I got to fly down to San Francisco for a Holiday party with my Women's Audio Mission work family!

To top it all off, I got to record Jingle Bell Rock with Ben McKee, the bassist of Imagine Dragons at the WAM studio!

I don’t know how I keep getting myself into these amazing situations, but I’m gonna keep going! 💪💪💪

I got to finally attend (and work!) my first WAMcon with !

What an honor it was to be asked by our Founder Terri Winston, to moderate the Live Sound panel on Friday night. This panel consisted of the most down-to-earth, inspiring, and ICONIC women in audio. I can’t tell you what it meant to see my name on that big screen next to them. I hope to follow in their footsteps one day and be a panelist at one of these things! Please take a second to read their bios. If you don’t know who they are, then you absolutely should! 🙌

Thank you, , , and .showfile. I appreciate you three so very much!

I got to visit San Francisco and visit the Women's Audio Mission studio and offices, and meet my coworkers for the first time!
I also got to see a show we have been planning come to fruition. What a blast ⚡️

Here are some of my favorite moments ❤️✨

Next event is in LA in October! Here I come! ✈️

This Thursday will be my first event with ! ❤️
If you are in the area tomorrow California, scope out this free all age concert in the beautiful 5M park!

It has been a lot of work, but I feel so proud of the team I am working with and grateful for the trust they have had in me to help set up and market this event!

From creating the promo materials to working with the artists and locations nearby, it has been such a great learning experience, and I look forward to seeing it all play out!

❤️ I love this job so much. I cannot believe the opportunities it provides for so many young women and gender-diverse individuals.

Some people will never mix for a show like this in their lifetime!

If you are in the San Francisco area, I absolutely recommend recording at their world-class studio and/or taking their amazing courses!

✨ Feeling all the feels ✨

Last week our Girls On The Mic instructor, Marta Alvarez, kicked off our intern shadowing opportunities at the Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley with Another Planet Entertainment and Sound on Stage.

The night featured performances by the talented Mary Droppinz, LP Giobbi, the founder and face of FEMME HOUSE, and The Knocks!

This is just one of the many perks of Women's Audio Mission and something to add to your resume!

🌅 Craig lit up the world.

I remember his first day (at NAMM!) and clicking quickly with our taste in weird bands, comedians, live looping gadgets, and so much more.
He also sat behind me at Mackie! If you knew Craig, you probably also know I didn't get much work done the days we worked together. Man, that guy could talk, but in the best ways! It was too easy to let a whole day slip through your hands when a conversation started.
I absolutely LOVED working with him, and a Livestream was always so easy when he was there. He was a natural star, and people gravitated toward him. One time someone commented live that he looked like a cool dad, which made him laugh so much!
I am so very sad that there is now a world without this precious person. I keep wanting to text him about a new band or a standup special that's out. There was so much left in him, and I can't believe we don't get to see all of the ideas he had brewing come to fruition. I know Mackie will do their best to continue his legacy.
I am very honored to have worked and learned from him for as long as I could, and if he was in your life for even a brief moment, I'm sure you feel the same.

I will never forget you, Craig. ✨

The Mackie family would like to take a moment to acknowledge the life and memory of our friend Craig Reeves. Many Mackoids may already know Craig for his contributions in the MI / Pro Audio space, and for his involvement with the DJ and Creator communities.

Having come from the world of broadcast, including stints at CBS Atlanta, The Weather Channel and CNN, Craig later made his transition into product management, a natural fit. At Mackie, he led the introduction of our microphone and headphone lines and was most proud of his creation the M•Caster Live, which he passionately designed to improve the life and workflow of countless creative needs.

In life, Craig was a son and a brother, a singer and a DJ, a gamer and technologist, and so much more. We wish the best to his friends and his family, and hope to honor his creative spark by continuing to do the best we can for the communities he was so passionate about.

Friends of Craig, or other audio enthusiasts, can make a donation to the Hearing Health Foundation in his memory to help prevent and cure hearing loss at the link provided: https://bit.ly/3b03GzR

⚡️ I’m so excited to share that I have started a new job as Marketing Manager at Women's Audio Mission, home to the only professional recording studio built and run by women/GNC individuals.
Ever since I learned about WAM and interviewed Terri Winston on the Mackie Podcast, I was so happy and relieved that an organization like them existed.
⚡️ WAM is changing the face of sound by providing hands-on training, work experience, career counseling, and job placement to over 4,000 women and girls every year in creative technology for music, radio, film, television, and the internet.
As you can imagine, this was not an easy decision. My past five years at Mackie have been an incredible learning experience, and I have made deep connections and great friendships that will last a lifetime. Thank you to my Mackie team for the laughs, tears, and amazing teamwork. I look forward to collaborating from the other side!
⚡️ I am so excited about this new adventure and thrilled to work with a team that shares my same passion for amplifying the voices of underserved markets.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me and my family as I move forward in my career!

Who else works in the dark? 😎

I drooled over this guitar online for so long. One day as I was visiting Hubbard’s Music in Las Cruces, I saw this beauty hanging. They had just pulled her out of the box and hadn’t even put a price tag on.
It was love at first sight. 😍

Sometimes you just have to go for it! Also, I’ve had this strap for almost 20 years now! 💕

Have a Happy New Year, with some awesome gear, and start your dream music career!
