About

I bring a rare combination of three things: I perform and curate music for events, I teach DJ skills at Blue Bear School of Music, and I co-founded Empress SF, an all-female DJ collective built around creating safe spaces and real community for women in music.

Teaching

I work with students from middle school through adulthood, in group classes, private lessons, summer camps, and corporate team-building sessions using both vinyl and digital formats. Being on staff at Blue Bear gives me credibility and structure that independent instructors don't have.

Corporate Work

As a seasoned DJ, I've DJed for LinkedIn, Salesforce, Day Breaker, Virgin Hotel, Outside Lands, Adidas, Puma, and more. Clients who book me know they're getting someone with real experience across corporate events, wellness spaces, fashion, and nightlife.
