Work Experience
Internships
As a Legal Intern, drafting and redlining amendments to licensing agreements with major distributors, including Disney, Lionsgate, and NBCU, was a highlight of the summer. I also worked on option purchase and quitclaim agreements for rights acquired by AMC, edited data privacy agreement templates and a B2B services agreement, and communicated directly with business clients.
Other projects included reviewing talent, composer, and music license agreements and summarizing deal terms concerning FVOD advertising rights and talent approvals for merchandise. Also, I created an internal resource for the marketing team on best practices for licensing stock images and learned about film production deal structures and considerations such as tax credits.
Additionally, three fellow interns and I presented our Next Big Idea: Streaming project, proposing an AMC+ student discount to reach Gen-Z through strategic bundling and brand partnerships. Our presentation addressed legal considerations including terms and conditions, FTC compliance, data privacy, and content clearances, and was even complemented by CEO Kristin Dolan!
As a Licensing and Copyright Intern, I analyzed music publishing contracts and organized deal terms, song splits, and copyright registration information in Music Maestro. I confirmed song claims were properly noted across PROs, matches with high-value recordings were made through the MLC portal, and UGC content was claimed through YouTube and TikTok content management systems ensuring Reservoir writers received their allocated royalties. In addition, I supported the licensing strategy by evaluating potential partnership opportunities and monitoring compliance.
As an Artist Management Intern, I was honored to support Marc Offenbach manage "Dandelion" and "Lost Boy" hitmaker Ruth B. I created comprehensive global streaming reports using Luminate and Chartmetric to identify consumption and audience trends across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon. I designed Ruth's artist one sheet, outlined actionable fan engagement strategies, and listened to unreleased demos for her upcoming project. Recently, Ruth B. received an RIAA platinum certification for her album Safe Haven and released her new album, "Peace to Make" in August 2026.
In the summer of 2024, I interned at the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) in Nashville, TN, working with the Matching and Data Analytics teams. Applying my knowledge from copyright and music publishing coursework, I gained hands-on experience with CMOs and the MLC’s royalty distribution process. I analyzed publishing data from songs across genres and languages, assisting in matching thousands of mechanical royalties to their correct MLC song codes to ensure accurate and timely payments to songwriters and publishers. I also presented a 30-minute capstone project on "Revolution" by The Beatles, exploring the band's publishing history and the legal dispute with Nike over an unauthorized use of the song in a commercial.

In August 2023, I started in a new role as the GRAMMY U Florida Representative, becoming the point person for over 400 members throughout the state. My role was to organize artist soundchecks, chapter events, and national events including a GRAMMY week masterclass, Fall Summit, and annual conference. As a member of the editorial committee, I curate a monthly playlist and accompanying GRAMMY.com article which features all student artists and a new theme each month. I have also taken on additional responsibilities such as suggesting website updates and ideas for partners to integrate with the GRAMMY U brand.
I currently serve as the GRAMMY U National Projects Representative, overseeing the GRAMMY U SoundChecks program, talent relations, and event logistics, while mentoring 14 Chapter Reps. I’ve helped coordinate SoundChecks with artists like Twenty One Pilots, Gracie Abrams, Faye Webster, and Young Miko. In Fall 2024, I produced GRAMMY U Unwrapped with Offset in Atlanta and the GRAMMY U Fall Summit in Nashville, featuring Charli XCX and Troye Sivan. As chair of the Digital Marketing Committee, I manage GRAMMY U’s social media (85K+ followers) and editorial content. I recently led the Latin GRAMMY social media campaign and wrote a recap article of my experience. I'm looking forward to another unforgettable GRAMMY week in 2025!
As the Florida Chapter Membership & Industry Relations Intern at the Recording Academy, I completed administrative tasks such as scheduling committee meetings and organizing membership data. I assisted in coordinating events such as work events such as a songwriter panel with Poo Bear, the annual Florida Member Celebration, and a GRAMMY U masterclass with Jacob Collier and Jessie Reyes during Grammy Week in Los Angeles. I also led a team of volunteers and managed check-in at the 2023 GRAMMY U Conference in collaboration with Nike in Miami. This experience has been full of mentorship and growth, and I am so grateful!
During my internship at the ICA, I traveled to Reno, NV to assist with logistics at ClarinetFest which features performers, vendors, researchers, educators, and clarinet enthusiasts from around the world. I was responsible for managing the registration desk, answering questions, and ensuring lectures, exhibits, and performances ran smoothly. In addition, my roles included managing membership data and marketing via email newsletters, podcasts, print, and social media. Listen to my interview with clarinetist and music entrepreneur Seunghee Lee here:
This fall, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Buffet Crampon on releasing the ClariMate, an innovative digital mute system for Bb and A clarinets. After beta-testing this product, I flew to Paris this October to shoot the following instructional video with the team. Check it out!
