CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT
& STRATEGY

Portfolio

As a highly organized and creative professional with a passion for music, marketing, and adventure, I bring a unique blend of administrative expertise and enthusiasm to the table. I currently serve as Creative Development & Strategy Coordinator at Iconic Artists Group, where I manage talent and partner communications, executive calendars, and oversee various administrative and project management responsibilities.

 

With a strong educational foundation in marketing, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Capella University in 2022. My academic background and professional experience has equipped me with a solid understanding of marketing principles, theories, and strategies.

 

My 8-year career as a Flight Attendant has also been instrumental in shaping my skills and approach. Working with high-value clients in a fast-paced, dynamic environment has taught me the importance of exceptional customer service, discretion, and attention to detail. I've honed my ability to problem-solve on my feet, think critically, and remain calm under pressure. Additionally, I've developed flexibility in timing and meeting difficult expectations, ensuring seamless execution in ever-changing circumstances.

In my current role, I've had the privilege of supporting several product/production releases, including the 2024 release of Nat King Cole's  Live at the Blue Note Chicago – receiving credit for Project Assistance within the official album credits. I've also played a key role in executing several projects with The Beach Boys, including contributing to the development of the marketing strategy and release of their Emmy-nominated Documentary, The Beach Boys and their Genesis book, both released in 2024. These experiences have allowed me to combine my passion for music with my marketing expertise, contributing to the success of legendary artists and projects.

 

With nearly 2 years of experience supporting iconic artists and 8 years of customer service excellence, I've developed strong skills in multitasking, communication, and problem-solving. Outside of work, you can find me exploring new trails, collaborating on creative projects, or learning the ropes on the tennis court.
