As President of the Berklee Songwriters Club, I advocate for the growth and development of the songwriting community by organizing masterclasses with industry professionals and leading collaborative workshops with the Songwriting Department and other student organizations. I also oversee administrative responsibilities, including managing the club’s annual budget, coordinating the semester calendar, and creating pitch decks and presentations.

In this role, I have developed and executed several strategic marketing campaigns to promote club events and support the long-term brand goals of featured artists. Additionally, I designed and launched a club website that not only highlights the services the club offers but also serves as a dynamic social hub, fostering collaboration among Berklee students.

As Project Manager of GradFest, I collaborate with board members to organize student outreach strategies and spearhead the booking of venue space, backline sourcing, and contracting of sponsors. I also design and publish promotional digital content on social media and connect with local news organizations and radio stations. At the event, I work closely with live sound engineers and stagehands to coordinate with each artist, as well as their band and to facilitate sound checks.

Perfect Pitch

Executive Producer

Perfect Pitch is an industry simulation competition that serves as an entertainment event, aiming to highlight the importance of every role in the creative process. This collaborative event brings together students and strengthens bonds within the Berklee community. The diverse array of music styles and performers promotes diversity on campus and fosters a sense of connection among all members of the student body.

 

In launching the Perfect Pitch Competition, I secured funding from Berklee administration and sponsorships, while managing a four-figure budget, including the organization’s P&L. The 2024 Perfect Pitch Competition generated over $1,000 in ticket sales, establishing it as a sustainable annual event. As Executive Producer, I lead the booking and contract negotiations for venue space, communicating with promoters and talent buyers. I also curate the artist lineup, develop the run-of-show and stage plots, and work closely with on-site production teams to facilitate sound checks and assist in balancing the final performance.
