I am a Music Business & Entrepreneurship student at the University of Florida with 7+ years of live performance experience, including active touring with regional bands. I thrive in fast-paced live settings and have hands-on experience with multitrack recording and live sound. As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, I co-manage bands, handle booking, social media, and promotions, and bring a creative yet analytical approach to the music industry. I’m seeking a record label internship in A&R or the business department to apply both creative instincts and business acumen in a professional setting.
