With my passion for new music, social justice, and beautiful spreadsheets, I am so excited to be interning with Kinds of Kings in arts administration. Having grown up learning music, nothing is more fulfilling than getting to live and work in the changing field.

 

My generous parents (who immigrated to the US from the Philippines to give me more opportunities) have taught me the value of giving back, and I hope to keep that spirit alive by fighting to make this industry a better place for everyone to work and create art.

 

I am about to begin my second and final year at the University of Cincinnati, where I am getting an MA in arts administration at the College-Conservatory of Music and an MBA from the Lindner College of Business. I have also worked with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the New York City Guitar School in development and administration.
