I am driven by culture and have had the privilege of working with global audiences across various mediums. My experience spans music publications, independent labels, event production, media management, and digital marketing. As a founding member and Digital Director at Moody Magazine, I built our online hub from the ground up, creating a website that tied together our print, digital, and social media. As Director, I managed a global team of 25+ creatives to produce weekly content,  starting with pitch meetings where we forged ideas that would soon become cross-platform multimedia projects. I forged partnerships with companies and collaborated with influencers utilizing their platforms and likenesses to build our audience while developing our publication’s brand. My favorite part, however, was orchestrating events, from fundraising clothing sales to our biannual release parties; bringing our mostly online community together in the real world always gave me the greatest gratification.

During university, I helped organize DIY Indie basement concerts and DJ sets on campus, which led to Walnutpalooza, a now annual charity music festival. My team and I booked a ten-band lineup featuring artists from across New York, including contracting a Wasserman-represented headliner. As lead organizer, I spearheaded the planning, marketing, and setup for the event, which raised $6,500 for charity in its first year. Three minutes. The months of planning, the never-ending stream of emails, the countless phone calls, the perpetual headache—it was all worth it for those three minutes I had to myself to stand in the crowd and experience what I had created. I had been on my feet for 14 hours at this point, and I couldn’t care less that my heels were bleeding. We hit $10k in sales and the venue was packed with a crowd brought together by music and the opportunity to give back. It was pure magic—strong enough to build a career chasing it—the power music has to bring about the good in the world. I have volunteered at shelters, mentored at after-school programs, done trail work in the Rocky Mountains, and built community centers in rural Costa Rica—but never have I seen a means for change as powerful and unifying as music. We live in tumultuous, uncertain times.  It feels like the world is more divided than ever, but still, I cling onto two fundamental beliefs: the innate human desire to create good in this world and that anything is possible through music.

For the past seven months, I have worked at the independent dance label, Razor-N-Tape, honing my ability to communicate through music and media. I did so by creating multi-platform content for fluid social engagement, designing and implementing email marketing campaigns, building strong artist relationships, and helping create events that bring it all together. During this time, I also independently worked with Gigfoot Touring as an assistant to the stage manager, as well as a DJ/promoter for club events around New York. These jobs gave me invaluable, first-hand experience working on fast-paced projects across the electronic music industry while deepening my understanding of the nuances that exist within it.

While my roles have varied, my hands-on experience in fast-paced environments throughout the entertainment, media, and live event industries has prepared me to begin full time work in this industry.  An entry-level position is more than a starting point to me; it's a chance to truly learn the industry from the ground up, support those at the forefront of the business, help artists create, and understand the machine that produces music magic. I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you further. I can’t wait!
