Alesia Hendley - From Live Sound to AV & IT
SoundGirls.org: Alesia Hendley’s introduction to audio started with a traditional path. She learned about sound at her dad’s church in Connecticut and decided to study audio at a trade school in Texas after her family moved there. Even though the program was focused on music production, her career focus at the time was still live sound.

I think that Alesia discovered one of the core things about live entertainment. All of the skills that we use are just as applicable to other fields. We just do not want to be in those fields, like IT. Even if they are better paying. We want to be able to have the creativity and design power that we have in the theatre world. In any other field, we would not have this power. That is why it might be hard for someone like Alesia to switch into IT. It does sound like she is having a good time, though. She worked for Dante and Shure which create AV solutions for all different types of venus so I am sure she had to create some creative solutions for some venues. Hopefully I will never have to pivot to something like IT but it is definitely nice to know that the option is there.
