Hi everyone! I'm a marketing professional driven by a passion for entertainment, culture, and creativity, with hands-on experience in digital strategy, social media, content planning, fan engagement, and event marketing. Being a Cum Laude graduate of Belmont University (BBA in Marketing, Minor in Fashion Studies), I built my foundation through high-impact internships with the Country Music Association (CMA) and Girlilla Marketing, where I thrived in fast-paced, creative environments and contributed to audience growth and brand storytelling. I’ve also led large-scale experiences as Co-Producer of the 2024 O’More Fashion Show and served as Chapter President of Alpha Gamma Delta, strengthening my leadership and execution skills. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Marketing at Vanderbilt University, I’m expanding my analytical expertise while gaining artist management experience with Onespark Entertainment. I’m passionate about building brands, telling stories, and creating moments that connect audiences to culture.
