For giving me my 1st intern experience in the music space, which exposed me to SO much, yet prepared me invaluably. And, even picked up live sound skills along the way-- I could never repay you for this experience and hope to always make you proud!
For teaching me the importance of integrity in the biz, imparting your knowledge and wisdom, and the halo of protection you put around me even when I didn't understand that not all opportunities are good opportunities. I continue to carry you in spirit in everything that I do!
For being available to help guide me in my career path at the very beginning and being the embodiment of how to maneuver this space as your authentic self. You're a mama to the stars, but also to the little people too!
For teaching me how to see colors when I hear sounds LOL, and helping me to hone my skills and train my ears at the end of a long day. To say you were selfless would be an understatement.
For taking me under your wing to show me how to run sound, investing in my learning, and positioning me with my 1st opportunity to do live sound on a major level. I'm beyond Blessed to have you as a mentor.
For supporting me through my continuing journey of learning sound and being a gentle soul in this not-so-gentle sea of the music industry.
For being- and introducing me to some of the few individuals that truly do it for the love of music, have good energy and are truly good people in this music space-- the Weirdo Workshop/HH crew. You guys are the select few that I'll always feel safe around.
For giving me an opportunity to learn in a safe environment and providing the role model of how to be a businesswoman in such a male-dominated industry.
For always believing in the power of who I am and what I bring to the table even when I doubted myself and tried to avoid the inevitable--coming back home to music.
