About

I am a rising junior at New York University studying music business and a former Division I women’s tennis student-athlete at Boston University where I studied business. I’m interested in the music industry and spend most of my time creating, from independent music production to building a combined digital community of 175K+ followers across content and streaming platforms. I’m motivated by curiosity, collaboration, and building work that feels meaningful, and I’m currently exploring creative and business roles within music.
