Resume

After completing my undergraduate studies, I joined Forty5 as a Staff Accountant, contributing to the financial management of music venues like The Vogue Theatre and Rock the Ruins. I manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and support financial analysis to optimize bar operations. My role involves collaborating with operations teams to ensure financial efficiency, managing on-site technology for our outdoor venues, and supporting the finance team in creating bespoke reports to identify trends, solve problems, and seize new opportunities, all while supporting the live music experience.

Band Bus was an entrepreneurial venture aimed at transforming the charter bus industry by converting decommissioned school buses into affordable, comfortable touring vehicles for musicians. This approach allowed us to offer the most competitive rates in the U.S. by several hundred dollars per day. I started this business during my sophomore year at Butler University, creating a detailed business plan, pricing models, and a startup pitch deck. I pitched to potential investors and attended the NAMM conference in Anaheim, California. Despite initial success, including winning $500 in a pitch competition, I decided the business was too asset-heavy and not aligned with my core strengths.
