What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow creatively and professionally in the music industry, where I can collaborate with others and contribute to innovative projects.

I'm a dedicated singer-songwriter and producer with a Bachelor of Science in Music Industry and Recording Technology from York College of Pennsylvania. My journey in music has been enriched by diverse experiences, from creating jingles for brands to collaborating with talented musicians and artists. I thrive in creative environments where I can contribute my skills in audio production and marketing.

During my internship at NFTEnergy Drinks, I crafted a catchy 30-second jingle that helped enhance the brand's identity. My role at Syryn Records allowed me to develop press releases and collaborate on visual assets, showcasing my ability to communicate effectively and work as part of a team. I have also gained valuable experience in photography and documentation through my work with Friendship News Network, where I contributed to a gentrification project.

As a performer, I have participated in various ensembles and productions, demonstrating my proficiency in vocal and dance performance. I am passionate about using my leadership skills, honed as Vice President of the Black Student Union, to inspire others in the music community. I am eager to continue my journey in the music industry, creating impactful work that resonates with audiences.
