I am a Seattle, WA native with a passion for the arts, specifically music. I attended the University of Washington from 1995 to 1999, graduating with a Business Administration degree, with a concentration in Accounting. While in college I worked for several athletics organizations' media relations offices and game night staff; they included Washington athletics, Seattle Sonics, Seattle Mariners, and Seattle Seahawks. After graduation I worked as a Public Relations intern for the Pacific-10 Conference, assisting with football, women's basketball, and was the primary contact for baseball. I have had the pleasure of experiencing several high-profile sporting events such as men's basketball NCAA tournaments (computer statistics input in 1999 and 2004), 2000 NBA All-Star Game (Oakland, CA), and the 1996 NBA Finals (Chicago vs. Seattle).

After my one-year internship was up in California at the Pac-10, I returned to Seattle as an assistant editor for ESPN.com. I was responsible for editing and maintaining content on all of the professional sports team pages as well as major universities. ESPN decided to relocate the operations back to Bristol, CT and I thought the West Coast was better for me :). I returned to the accounting world with PACCAR, Inc. in Kirkland, WA originally as a general accountant with Kenworth Truck Company. I then moved to consolidations accountant at the corporate offices in Bellevue, WA where we accumulated financial statements for over 40 worldwide companies owned under the corporate umbrella. I decided I was ready for a new change of pace and landed with T-Mobile USA as a sales accountant where I was responsible for reporting and analyzing retail and B2B sales of handsets. I was heavily involved with the post-rollover of accounting software from PeopleSoft to SAP.

Life interrupted (!) and in 2004 I came to the epiphany I needed to be where the action was, specifically music entertainment. I am thrilled and lucky to have had this opportunity to pursue a dream of mine. I completed my schooling chops at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences in Tempe, AZ and moved to Los Angeles where I currently reside. The road has been interesting but I feel it is only the beginning of great things to come!
