About Me
Where I started...
Starting from a young age, I trained formally for 16 years before receiving a degree in classical piano performance from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami.
Development...
After graduating, my love of performing led me to a career in live entertainment, where I managed ticketing solutions for several world-class concert venues and festivals; most notably, AEG’s iconic Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, which is home to many of the world’s most acclaimed award shows and other televised events, such as The EMMYS, American Music Awards, iHeart Music Awards, BET Awards, The ESPYS, and many others. It was there I got hands-on experience in leading cross-functional teams in end-to-end operations.
Most Recently...
After leaving Microsoft Theater, I joined Rival Labs, a cutting edge ticketing-tech startup led by former Ticketmaster CEO, Nathan Hubbard. At Rival, I utilized my industry knowledge to help the team achieve its mission of building next-generation enterprise and consumer platforms to power the most coveted events on the planet.
Now...
Rival was acquired by Live Nation/Ticketmaster (LYN) in April of 2020. After the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I left the company and am now working on developing my skills while I look for the next opportunity.
