Nearly 6.5 years ago, my dad brought me to my first-ever concert. I had no idea that one night would spark a passion that would shape my future.

Since then, I've attended over 150 concerts, generated over one million likes across social media, and fallen in love with the live-music industry.

Today, I'm extremely excited to announce that I have started two internships that allow me to combine my passion for music with business!

First, MAINLINE | The Marketplace For Campus Culture. Mainline is a collegiate talent booking company, a venture beneath GigFinesse, and I am working on growing total reach and organizing shows for fraternities and colleges across the country. As a college student with experience in the music industry and collegiate Greek life, I’m thrilled to help connect artists with campuses.

Second, I am joining the Stage Hoppers Street Team! I will be capturing and posting concert content, contributing to social media direction and strategy, and helping bring live music experiences to a wider audience.

What started as a love for going to concerts has grown into an opportunity to work behind the scenes in an industry I’m incredibly passionate about.

If you told me 6.5 years ago that I would be doing what I love in the live music industry, I would have said you were crazy.

I’m incredibly grateful for these opportunities and excited to keep learning, building connections, and finding new ways to contribute to the industry.  🎶
