About

Steering Blind Confidence as its Owner and Project Manager, I've cultivated a thriving music production hub, specializing in sync licensing and commercial sound design. Our work has been used with industry leaders like Nike, Altra, and Casamigos. Before launching Blind Confidence, I spearheaded Quiktract Inc. as its Founder and Chief Brand Officer, where we introduced an innovative mobile app to the gig economy landscape. Our efforts were recognized with a feature on the esteemed business podcast, 'Earn Your Leisure' & landing Series A funding. Beyond entrepreneurship, I've also honed my skills as an Executive Assistant, where I've fine-tuned my ability to manage complex schedules and foster internal collaboration.
