I’m a 22-year-old, LA-based non-profit owner, digital marketing professional, concert promoter, and music commentator. I’ve worked with some of the most iconic artist teams from around the world including Selena Gomez, Reneé Rapp, The 1975, Gracie Abrams, and more completing highly successful digital marketing and influencer partnership campaigns. I’ve also worked closely with LA’s up-and-coming female and non-binary through my Non-Profit, Sam X Sam. Through both our benefit concert series in support of Planned Parenthood, Music For Movement, and our work with Page 1 Management on our all-female and queer Songwriting Camps, my work with Sam X Sam has allowed me to support and celebrate the music community.
