At the University of South Carolina, I wrote my Honors College Thesis on environmentally sustainable initiatives in live entertainment. I researched how venues across the globe were embracing zero waste culture and renewable energy. TLDR: the industry still has a long way to go.

I started my career with a multimedia marketing campaign creating awareness about the jobs and people in the recycling industry. I used my experience as a DJ at WUSC-FM to broadcast sustainability messaging and amplify community voices.

For the past few years, I’ve been traveling around the country implementing zero waste systems and nonprofit advocacy zones at music festivals and large scale events. The pandemic sure has changed things for my career, but my passion remains the same: sustainability, but make it pop culture.
