In my initial position at idobi Radio, I worked behind-the-scenes for “The Gunz Show” booking talent; coordinating guest interviews; handling various office/administrative support tasks; and assisting with marketing, live events/promotions, and social media campaigns. My success in this role led to a promotion to on-air host and producer of “Gone Fishkin”--one of the station’s top-rated prime-time shows.

I coordinated social media campaigns for music and entertainment industry clients (e.g., bands and live music clubs/venues). Using multiple platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and LinkedIn), I captured the attention of a diverse fan base, generated ticket sales, increased event attendance, and created market “buzz.” Representative clients/campaigns included Sugar Nights, Louder than Love Ball (Westbury Music Fair), and Dover Group Summer Concert Series.
