With a background in writing and music production, I bring a creative skill set than combines both hands-on and managerial expertise. From promoting concerts, advancing and organizing festivals, highlighting artists and crafting unique community events, I thrive in team atmospheres where a diverse collection of people collaborates to achieve a shared goal for the benefit of a large public audience. My different experiences have allowed me to work individually as well as with others on projects that involve extensive planning, logistics, and in-the-moment problem solving. I enjoy the challenge of ever-changing environments and finding paths to success that may be winding and at times unknown.
