iTunes         Spotify         Youtube           Patreon Heather Bey is a Monitor Engineer and tech from Long Island who currently works at the Space at Westbury Theatre, mixing a range of events from concerts, MMA tournaments, and more. A graduate from SUNY New Paltz with a degree in Audio and Digital Media Production, Heather was inspired to follow her passion for audio and upon graduating, and has worked steadily over the last few years, building her resume, and further deepening a love for her craft. Heather's thesis film, The Fierce Five Percent: Women in the Sound Industry, is a testament to the incredible history of women who have forged meaningful careers in an arena predominantly dominated by men. However, with the help of organizations like Soundgirls.org, Female Frequency, and Women's Audio Mission, Heather is poised to lead the charge of a new generation of female sound engineers who are judged on the quality of their work, not their gender.
