Proudest 2025 Achievement:

This year, I am proud of the hard work our A&R team has put into tailoring our best-in-class A&R strategy to be dynamic and true to the changing industry so we can continue to find talent and support Canadian artists in the best ways. It is a privilege to work with the UMC team — a collaborative, passionate and determined group that champions Canadian artists and the Canadian music industry!

One Thing I Wish I Knew at the Start of My Career:

One thing I wish I knew at the start of my career is that it’s totally fine to not have all the answers! Ask questions and don’t be afraid to collaborate. It is a powerful opportunity to learn from those around you, and sometimes, even when you do have the answers, pausing and getting outside ideas and perspectives can bring things to a whole new level!
