I coordinate music production, live events, and cultural programming across international creative teams.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently preparing film and television productions for mixing at Mayitasol Producción in Madrid, transcribing scores and conforming cues for international screen projects.
At Berklee College of Music, I coordinated Professional Music Department programming, supporting a residency with J. Rawls and a masterclass with Lalah Hathaway. I also managed ZUMIX concert programming, including its Summer Concert Series and Big Worlds Concert Series.
I bring hands-on creative and operational knowledge to music workflows—from cue sheets and stem exports to artist, client, and platform coordination—and communicate fluently in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic.
