Lisa Power: monitor engineer and leading RF coordinator in New Zealand

Lisa is a freelance sound engineer from Germany, now based in Auckland, New Zealand. She started doing sound in 2000 while trying to figure out what to do with her life after school. In 2003 she ditched her social work studies to pursue a career doing sound for live events and has never looked back. Doing monitors has been an early and lasting passion. Preparing the gear and programming a console to suit her workflow, figuring out what each musician wants and needs, and mixing it ties together all the awesome aspects in live events: tech, people, creativity, performance. She is a highly regarded RF coordinator across New Zealand, having done coordination for all major festivals and many large sport events. She tries teaching basic coordination to anyone in the industry and has held workshops. She also runs regular meetups open to all women and queer people in our wider industry, inviting all techs and crew across departments. She also initiated a chatgroup for women and queer people, it‘s a good place to ask tech questions, look for crew or rant.
