I was born and raised in Dallas with my finger on the pulse of your favorite artists since I can remember. I have great taste in all things cultural, and the interpersonal skills to make anyone successful. I thrive in a fast-paced environment with large responsibilities and demands. Some might say I was born to be a manager in the music industry. I know the truth: I was born to share great music with great people.

Interests

I have a charming husband, two children, and the most perfect dog in the world, Eleanor.

My hobbies include digging for new music on Spotify, taking my dog for long walks, and cooking every Barefood Contessa recipe.

My favorite mode of discovering new trends and observing the human race is traveling all over the world. When that isn't possible (and it so often isn't these days), my mother keeps me current.
