I am an experienced licensing professional with a rich background spanning over three decades in the music industry. I’ve successfully founded and built a small business to a mid-level status, and I am passionate about bringing my expertise in music licensing, copyright law, and publishing to a dynamic Licensing Department.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with songwriters, publishers, labels, and attorneys to manage mechanical licenses, royalty statements, and legal matters surrounding music rights. With strong organizational skills and a positive, self-motivated attitude, I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy collaborating with a wide range of music industry professionals.
