Account Executive, Yelp
April 2017-April 2017
In the world of sales, I learned that things move quickly, that communication has an importance that knows no bounds and that scheduling can be everything. In the account executive position, I was managing multiple accounts of local businesses, learning the ins and outs of their field and trying to find the perfect way to help them succeed. Unfortunately, sales was too high pressure of an environment for me so I resigned.

Office Manager, Salitsky Alloys
December 2016-May 2016
When my father got sick, I realized that I needed to step up and be there for my family. So, I took on the role of Office Manager at our small scrap metal company where I elcomed and greeted guests, directing them appropriately. I was responsible for maintaining a safe and clean reception area by complying with procedures, rules and regulations. I answered, screened and forwarded any incoming phone calls, as well as receiving and sorting daily mail/packages.

Photo Finish Records is a much smaller company than Warner Music Group, which meant that I was given tasks from various departments and had multitask, as well as work under a time crunch. Part of my duties included using Facebook Analytics, Youtube and Twitter to see how social media reacted to the marketing strategies of Photo Finish's roster, and to brainstorm creative campaigns for artists on the roster. I personally spearheaded campaigns for Misterwives and The Mowglis. I also actively sought out new talent, using blogs, and music discovery hubs. I presented unsigned talent such as Oh Honey (Brooklyn) and Wet (Brooklyn) to the A&R Manager.

Arts in Context: Music and Gender Studies
​2012 - 2015
​During my studies at Eugene Lang, I built a major, combining my interests in Music and Feminism and took advantage of opportunities, studying Music History, including classes on the History of Hip Hop, Global Perspectives on Music and Music in the Media Business but also Sociology including classes in American Youth Culture and Consumer Culture. My classes in Gender Studies included Sexual Revolution and the Public Sphere, Foundations of Gender Studies and Symbolic Struggles: Culture Conflict and Consensus in the United States. The New School offered so many ways to learn not just about my major but to dabble in outside interests.
Columbia College Chicago, Chicago, IL
Arts and Entertainment: Music Business
​2009 - 2011
When I graduated high school, I decided that I needed to explore a different region of the United States. I chose Columbia College Chicago because of the school's Music Business and Entertainment Industry focus. In my time at Columbia, I studied the Art and Business of Recording, Marketing and Management in the Music Industry, Popular Contemporary Music and Managerial Economics. I also established my interest in Gender Studies with classes such as Biology of Human Reproduction and Women in Arts, Literature and Music.
