About Me
I am a professional musician and dancer turned administrator interested in the processes within creative industries. I graduated from McGill University with a B.A in Music, Social Entrepreneurship, and Medieval Studies. As a classically trained violinist, I have performed traditional, modern, and pop music in the United States and Canada. Starting in August 2026, I will be attending Rutgers Law School as a 1L law school candidate.
Experience
I am currently starting my law school career at Rutgers Law School in Newark, New Jersey. However, I am still connected to the arts, serving on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit organization Tribeca New Music, and providing freelance administrative work for CFO Lite, an organization focused on providing a multitude of business services to nonprofits across New York.
Until recently, I was the Programs and Marketing Assistant at Young Concert Artists, where I managed ticket distribution, programming support, social media and email marketing, performance metrics, and photo/video content creation across concerts, education residencies, and special events. Previously, I was the Music Program Coordinator for Special Music School and the Kaufman Music Center, and before that, the Creative Enterprise Apprentice in the Office of the President at The Juilliard School, collaborating on the creation and production of interdisciplinary performances and institutional events. I also completed a Marketing Internship with the Kronos Performing Arts Association in 2024.
Alongside my administrative and creative leadership experience, I have years of performance experience on stages including the Kaufman Music Center, Carnegie Hall, and WQXR’s Greenspace.
Skills
I am an organized and focused professional who is passionate in helping musicians in their journey through the music industry. I have experience using music software such as Adobe Audition and Audacity and with administrative software such as Word and Excel.
