WORK HISTORY
Faculty Music Business & Entertainment Studies @University Of Colorado Denver
Denver, CO, US
Key achievements include: Curriculum Development: Created three innovative courses (Women in Music, Business of Hip Hop, Music Marketing) reflecting current industry realities and diverse perspectives Student Outcomes: Achieved 95% approval rating through inclusive teaching methods that encourage real-world application and critical thinking Industry Impact: Mentored graduates now shaping music and entertainment industry with understanding that music serves as cultural connector Inclusive Leadership: Developed culturally responsive curriculum ensuring students from all backgrounds see themselves reflected in learning materialsThe story behind my approach:My teaching philosophy centers on meeting students where they are and encouraging them to test what they\'re learning in real scenarios. One transformative moment happened in my Women in Music class while studying festival organizers serving deaf and hearing-impaired communities. I watched a hearing-impaired student light up as she realized her perspective was not just valid but essential to the industry. That moment reinforced why representation in curriculum matters so deeply. Magic happens when curiosity meets application and students see themselves in the possibilities.
