About Me
I am a professional musician and dancer turned administrator interested in the production and business processes in artistic and 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. I am a focused and creative individual with experience in social media and marketing, administrative activities, and production.
Experience
I am currently the Programs and Marketing Assistant at Young Concert Artists, where I manage 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 served as the Music Program Coordinator for Special Music School and the Kaufman Music Center. I also work part-time as the Operations Manager and serve on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit organization Tribeca New Music.
In 2024, I completed a Marketing Internship with the Kronos Performing Arts Association. From 2022–2023, I was 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. From 2018–2022, I was the editor and co-host of the radio show All Things McGill, developing weekly original content with my peers.
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.
