Scaling Culture Through Sound & Strategy

About

I’m a Marketing student at Colorado State University (Class of 2026) with a Music Business minor, dedicated to pushing the industry forward by amplifying the voices of the next generation of artists. Currently a Digital Marketing Intern at Cantora Records, I focus on building the digital infrastructure and creative narratives that help emerging talent break through the noise.

Being deeply embedded in the Fort Collins music community has given me a front-row seat to the evolution of sound. I am passionate about the art of discovery – identifying the “what’s next” and utilizing strategic marketing to turn local momentum into a global presence.

My experience ranges from managing complex digital campaigns to the hands-on creative work of live event editorial and award-winning radio production. My goal is to bridge the gap between raw talent and the resources they need to thrive, ensuring that the future of music is as innovative as the artists creating it.

Beyond my current roles, I am eager to collaborate with forward-thinking creators and organizations that are ready to challenge the status quo. Whether through data-driven digital strategy or the cultivation of authentic community engagement, I am dedicated to building lasting connections between artists and their audiences.

I bridge the gap between creative storytelling and data-driven growth by executing cross-platform strategies that drive organic engagement and measurable brand awareness. Experience in: Band accounts, theme accounts, business accounts.
