About Me

University at Albany MBA Graduate Candidate Exp. '24

B.S. Business Administration (Mkt / Mgt), Journalism Minor '23

Albany Student Press Editor-in-Chief Spring 2023

Motivated UAlbany graduate student who demonstrates strong work ethic, creative ability and determination. Active in multiple clubs alongside intense coursework. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration Conc. in Marketing and Management with a Minor in Journalism in Spring 2023. In Spring 2024, I intend on graduating with my Master's in Business Administration (MBA).

I am seeking to enhance my current abilities and interests in the marketing world to reach my end goal of the music promotional industry. My current focus is in developing social media management and writing skills for the entertainment industry - more specifically into music A&R, public relations and promotions.

Music is the driving force behind all of my accomplishments. Being raised in the music world, surrounded by passionate musicians and music-lovers, I feel strongly that the entertainment industry is the place to be.

Business Marketing Background

I was a direct admit student to the UAlbany Massry School of Business in 2020 and graduated Summa Cum Laude (3.97 GPA) in Spring 2023.

Since I graduated amongst the post-COVID Pandemic lifestyle, I wanted to experience college life for one more year while continuing my education. The accelerated one-year MBA program at UAlbany allowed me to do so.

I primarily use my program to diverge into my own interests, using a grassroots approach into the music industry rather than follow the traditional corporate recruiter pipeline. While I value those connections and opportunities, that lifestyle is simply not my prerogative. Writing for local publications, attending basement shows, and exploring the Capital Region alongside my hobbies using my gained educational skillsets have enriched my life beyond comparison.

I believe using my traditional skills to start from the bottom, teaming up with my fellow music-lovers and young innovators along the way, will bring me to my career destination. Right now, my focus is music promotion through connecting my album and concert reviews, photography, and social media campaign experience with my business operations background.
