What I'm looking for

I seek roles in music/entertainment operations or management that offer hands-on responsibility, mentorship, and growth in event production, marketing, and administration.

I am a music business student at Berklee College of Music with hands-on experience in events, concert management, marketing, and administration. I bring practical internship and work experience from roles in stage management, talent management, and private instruction.

My experience includes managing teams and cast operations, processing employment documentation, coordinating scheduling and crisis response, and mentoring students in violin pedagogy. I have delivered marketing and project support in music-focused organizations while developing strong communication, leadership, and administrative skills.

I am dedicated to gaining real-world experience across business administration and management in the music and entertainment industries, and I pursue opportunities that allow me to contribute operationally while continuing to grow professionally.
