About
I am an experienced and creative digital talent manager who has helped launch brands, events, tours, and careers for some of the entertainment's industry most interesting personalities and artists from a digital focus. I have spent the last 8+ years being malleable and understanding the changes and growth of the creator economy. After starting my career working for the producers of Coachella and Governor's Ball, I later moved on to work for the company that produced the largest, longest-running music festival in North America, the Vans Warped Tour. Since then, I have had the honor of honing my skills at some of entertainment's most powerful and valued companies. I learned how audiences behaviors are shifting, changing and in some ways, staying the same. I have been able to ride the waves of the ever changing digital and social platform landscape and ensure our talent and brand clients are prepared and empowered to grow their business in the face of those changes. I ideate, develop, market and launch six to seven figures worldwide businesses for my clients. I closed and manage thousands of partnerships for both onsite and online activations. I engineer social and digital media practices for both established and start-up brands. I am a digitally native marketing nerd who understands the intersection of how talent and brands interact with their audiences on a day-to-day basis. I have been a featured panelist from SXSW to NYU's "(S)Hero's Conference" to Playlist Live, AdWeek, VidCon, Cannes Lions and more! In my spare time- I love a good fitness class, a good binge-able show, and (more importantly) some good food! I am looking forward to connecting!
