"Thank You For The Music, The Songs I'm Singing...

Music is something that I've never been able to live without and often I find myself measuring my life in what album I was listening to at the time. My past internship in college was the first time I felt like I was doing something that was 100% me. Finding new artists and giving them a platform for their dreams is inspiring, as music often is. Since I've graduated I've been in sort of a rut about finding a job that I can truly grow in and be passionate about, but there's nothing I'm more passionate about than music. And it’s taken me a while to realize I can actually pursue that for my life, not just in addition to it.

Additional Information

I am a passionate worker, bordering on workaholic, I find pride and joy in being able to love what I do and do it well. I've never been one to stay somewhere I'm not being challenged. And I so appreciate every job I've had thus far in order to learn things about the world and about people I wouldn't have otherwise. There is so much for me to do and it's only the beginning.
