I founded and scaled an artist assistance agency, where I managed commercial, operational, and strategic work independently while supporting multiple simultaneous release projects. I am comfortable working across departments and disciplines, and I naturally take ownership of pipelines, timelines, and stakeholder communication before issues escalate. My background also includes freelance business development, event management, PR, graphic design, and production work in fast-moving environments that required calm judgment and accountability. I have worked with artists, brands, media partners, venues, and freelancers, and I enjoy building long-term relationships that create measurable outcomes. I am now looking for a role where I can combine operations, partnerships, communication, and execution in a business-focused environment.
