Proudest 2025 Achievement:

I am inspired by finding ways for local artists to share their stories and reach audiences across Canada and beyond, every day, while championing their unique visions on our platform and through diverse initiatives. This year, that included original projects with Alicia Moffett, Pierre Lapointe and Nemahsis, as well as collaborations with artists such as Cœur de pirate, Billie Du Page and Karan Aujla, and industry partners like ADISQ. Whether supporting emerging talents who are becoming household names or finding new ways to share local voices on the global stage, it’s rewarding to see these journeys unfold — alongside a team that champions and celebrates what we love most: music.

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

There will always be someone with different ideas or opinions than yours. Be considerate and open to their thoughts — but always, always trust your gut.

It can be easy to spend a lot of energy trying to reconcile every perspective, and sometimes that means second-guessing yourself.

Over time, you learn that it’s important to listen — it can teach you a lot — but equally important to trust your instincts. Your experience and your passion shaped these instincts, and make them often your best guide — and learning to balance curiosity about others’ ideas with confidence in your own judgment is one of the most valuable lessons in my journey.
