About Me

Built on experience. Driven by music.

I'm a Music Industry Strategist, event producer, and an aspiring entertainment professional based in South Carolina.

Currently pursuing a degree in Sports and Entertainment Management at the University of South Carolina, I've spent the last several years immersed in the live music industry through artist management, festival operations, event programming, and music marketing.

My journey began managing a local band, where I learned firsthand how to book venues, market shows, distribute music, and build an audience. Since then, I've expanded my experience through leadership roles with Local Mojo SC, eventually becoming Director and overseeing programming, artist relations, and event development.
