Summary

I'm a resilient music producer and college student, graduating in 2025, with a passion for innovation shaped by personal experiences overcoming health challenges, including deafness, surgeries, and chemotherapy. Aspiring to become a record executive and entrepreneur, I bring tenacity, creativity, and leadership to every task I accomplish. With a solid customer service and sales background, developed through roles at Amber J's Mini Mart and as a Sales Intern at Ground Standard Agency, I have gained expertise in CRM, project management, and partnership recruitment. My proven adaptability, communication skills, and results-driven approach in fast-paced environments showcase my ability to create impact and build meaningful relationships in the music and business industries.
