Podcast Collective, and mostly deal with the technical side of production! From audio mixing and mastering, to graphics and back-end systems, I’m the queen of computery things!?

My journey at PCC includes a degree in Immersive Media and Creative Coding from the Multimedia department, as well as having graduated from the Gateway to College program (plus a stop at Columbia College Chicago along the way!)?

My interests include audio, programming, heavy metal, social justice, theoretical physics, abstract construction of algorithms, American Football, and drinking a healthy amount of water!

She wears a light blue blouse with white daisies of different sizes all over the blouse and a dark blue jean jacket with black plant embellishments on the chest.Hi! My name is Asher! I’m a co-lead producer with the “Let’s Talk! Podcast Collective”, and have been dealing with pre-production work and editing podcasts! From planning out coverage on special events in Portland, to making sure our team has the information we need before we hit the ground running. It’s never a dull moment when brainstorming about the next great episode!

I started with PCC as a Multimedia Student and became an Intern for the Collective in my final year of college, before graduation. Even with about 5 years of experience, in the classroom and out of it, in film pre-production and editing; I’m eager and excited to learn new skills everyday while on the job!?

My interests include video gaming, knitting, creating animations & art work, exploring locations for foodies in The City of Roses, and being behind a camera.
