sound.
Alex's love of music along with her background in flute and piano has catapulted her into the world of sound engineering. She is a resident Sound Engineer at Rosie's Theatre Kids in New York City working under the Direction of Composer and Musical Director Steven Jamail.
Alex has been the sound engineer for various projects with Grammy Award Winner Emily Bear, Broadway Orchestrator Christopher Jahnke, Broadway Producer Dani Davis and the legendary Rachelle Rak, and Open Ice: Visionaries Scott Hamilton and Kaitlyn Weaver.

Rosie’s Theater Kids (RTKids) is an arts education organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the arts. We serve students who otherwise would not have the opportunity to experience theater, positively changing the trajectory of their lives by providing comprehensive classes in music, dance, and drama; thoughtful mentoring; and structured academic guidance.
Created and produced by Kaitlyn Weaver, Open Ice: Visionaries features on and off-ice exclusive footage and words from Scott Hamilton, Adam Rippon, Kiira Korpi, and Elladj Baldé that brings the global figure skating community together in a way never seen before. This year, the evolved program shed new light on four of skating’s Visionaries—past and present—who have changed the sport and the world for the better.
Electric Island is a new musical conceived and written by Rachelle Rak with music and additional lyrics by Steven Jamail. This developmental project tells the real stories of women working on Broadway: those working hard to go from show to show and aren't the recognized stars above the marquee. Shining light on women of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, Electric Island illuminates how these performers have navigated the highs and lows of a life in the theater--on stage and off.
The show was created in response to the Broadway shut-down due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Rak began working on this project with her friends and colleagues via Zoom rehearsals and email exchanges. The show is indicative of the time we live in and the promise of the return of live theater.

To experience music and dance is to connect with humanity. It is to inspire empathy, and we all need this fundamental, shared experience more than ever right now. People need people. To live. To create. To love. To heal.
