San Francisco Bay Area
After growing up in the eclectic SF Bay Area, I decided to take a chance on the frigid North East and get my Bachelors Degree at UMass Amherst (thanks to the help of the Dean's Scholarship). It was the right call. Living near Boston gave me an entirely new perspective on life. I studied Communication and Media Studies, with a minor in French and Music. The obsession with the French language started when I was young, I was always drawn to Europe. I moved to Geneva during my junior year abroad to further my studies of the French language and spend time closer to my favorite mountains. Coming back to the US, I had already been bitten by the travel bug, but I returned to finish my degree and soon after started my first big-girl job in Boston working in customer service for NormaTec, now owned by HyperIce. Missing the California coast, I moved back to San Francisco where I got hired as an event producer for a high-end events production company, Tom Roche Productions, sparking my love for experiential marketing and entertainment business. After Covid shut the company (and the world) down, I decided to go back to school to dive further into the world of marketing and get my Masters degree, all while fulfilling a lifelong dream of moving to France. I attended Toulouse Business School where I acquired an MBA in Business Management with a focus in Marketing and a double Masters in Culture and Entertainment. Immediately after my studies, I began working in Toulouse as a Communications, PR and Marketing Manager for a music label (Sidekick) and press relations company (Comtazic). The hands on experience was invaluable. My horizons expanded exponentially as I worked with musicians, labels, media outlets, influencers, radio stations and more from all across the world. Not to mention, I was now officially fluent in French. During this whole experience, I never let go of my true passions in music. I continued to write, sing, produce, and develop my own personal style. I have finally started releasing new music and am taking my true calling more seriously. I have officially begun working full time at All Aglow Music Publishing and Production, to further the careers of aspiring independent musicians, including myself.
