With a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Music Performance and a keen understanding of psychology and sociology from Central College, my journey is threaded with an entrepreneurial mindset. I moved to Chicago in 2019 as an independent songwriter and performer, where I learned the ins-and-outs of marketing, customer acquisition, contractual agreements, and incredible customer service. My dedication landed me on season 20 of American Idol and sustained my income until having my children.These learned skills then helped me to excel as a Sales Representative at Lumina Chicago, where team building and negotiating within business relationships is my forte. At Lumina, we exercise meticulous compliance protocols and I thrive in building lasting relationships with clients, customers, and my team.Prior to my role in direct sales, I nurtured my passion for music, community outreach, and mentorship through a teaching position at Red Cloud Studio. Our efforts as a small team of teachers have been pivotal in crafting enriching experiences for students and parents alike. My dual expertise in sales and music embodies a unique blend that drives both my personal and professional growth.
