    ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

    Arielle Flinkman (she/her), is a Pro Tools certified audio engineer residing in San Francisco. She is currently the Adult Education Manager and a studio engineer at Women's Audio Mission. In addition to working in the studio as a recording and mixing engineer, she got her start in audio working as a live sound engineer and AV Tech around Bay Area clubs and venues, and obtained her audio certificates from CCSF in recording and live sound.

    Prior to taking the leap into to audio, Arielle came from a long background in media work and film exhibition, obtaining her Bachelor's degree in Media Studies and Film from the University of San Francisco in 2014. She has worked in film projection, A/V tech, and operations within the live event and film exhibition sphere. In her free time, Arielle is a vocalist and a synth player, and has been moonlighting as a vinyl DJ since 2013.

    As a WAM intern alumni, Arielle believes wholeheartedly in WAM's mission and the strong community that is built around our classes and programs, and is excited to share her knowledge and cultivate new generations of audio professionals.

    Women's Audio Mission courses focus on increasing the gender balance in audio production and technology sectors since less than 5% of the population employed in these sectors are women and gender-expansive individuals. There are limited spots available in our classes, and they often sell out, so we ask that if you are not woman-identified (cisgender or transgender), nonbinary, or gender-expansive, you reconsider enrolling in the class. We will not turn anyone away, but please be mindful that if you take up a seat in the class, that is one less woman, non-binary, or gender-expansive individual that we can serve. We thank you for your understanding in advance and for joining us in our mission to advance women and girls in music production and the recording arts.

    Frequently asked questions

    Would I need to purchase my own ProTools subscription, or will WAM provide ProTools access?

    No, you will not need to own Pro Tools. WAM has Pro Tools installed at our lab, and may also provide a temporary ProTools license available for the duration of the course.

    What if I can’t take both ProTool 101 & 110 in the same session?

    To receive AVID ProTools Certification you will have to complete ProTools 101 & 110 within 365 days. As long as you take both courses within a 365 day period you can receive certification.
