A KANSAS CITY NATIVE, WHO GREW UP IN URBAN RADIO(KPRS) AND MENTORED BY MANY; FROM MANAGEMENT TO THE FRONT DESK. FROM THERE, I RECOGNIZED MY PASSION FOR MUSIC. IN 2004, AFTER RECEIVING A DEGREE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL MISSOURI, I RELOCATED TO ATLANTA FOR AN INTERSHIP AT WARNER MUSIC GROUP. SHORTLY AFTER, I WAS HIRED AS THE FRONT DESK SUPERVISOR. FOR THREE YEARS, I GAINED SUBSTANTIAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FROM MY PEERS AND TOP EXECUTIVES. THEREFORE, LEADERSHIP COMES NATURAL AND EXECUTING OBJECTIVES ARE ALWAYS A GOAL.
