The university degree I acquired in KTU was very beneficial in the start of my career. During the studies I developed not only the skill to apply the knowledge in my everyday work, but also to find and look for more opportunities, create a professional space where I can express myself. Diverse study programme provides knowledge of different areas of sound production, which helped in various projects, and made it easier to apply what I’ve learned in both TV broadcasting and while learning about the most interesting field of sound production for me, which is academic music. These studies also gave me an opportunity to meet and develop partnerships with interesting people, artists. Friendships and partnerships I’ve made during the studies were very valuable in my career.
