Proudest 2025 Achievement:

This year, I am most proud of leading Dine Alone Records into its 20th anniversary while driving meaningful growth for our roster and company. As VP, I oversaw landmark campaigns including anniversary vinyl reissues, international partnerships, and multi-artist tours, all while expanding our reach in both Canada and abroad. I’ve worked closely with our team to secure key DSP placements, strengthen International visibility, and grow ancillary revenue streams without adding staff, ensuring sustainability in a shifting industry.

Beyond the numbers, I’m proud of building opportunities for our artists at every career stage, from emerging voices to legacy acts, while reinforcing Dine Alone’s reputation as one of Canada’s most impactful independent labels. Balancing creativity, strategy, and execution in such a milestone year has been the achievement that stands out most for me.

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 growth in the music industry is rarely linear. Early on, I thought success meant moving quickly from one milestone to the next, but I’ve learned the most impactful achievements often come from long-term relationship building, patience, and adaptability. Deals fall through, campaigns take unexpected turns, and the industry itself constantly shifts, but those moments aren’t setbacks, they’re part of the process. If I had understood earlier that resilience and flexibility are just as important as ambition, I would have embraced the slower seasons with more confidence. Now, I see how each challenge has sharpened my ability to problem-solve, support artists through uncertainty, and think strategically for the future. That perspective has been invaluable as I’ve grown into a leadership role.
