“Talking with Samson is like going into a supercool rabbit hole & coming out on the other side with more self-awareness with an abundance of golden tickets and a higher appreciation of life. He is the inspirer. My vocabulary went from synchronicities to syncrodestinys because of Samson.”
MY STORY
I’m a serial survivor.
By age 23, I’d survived the death of my dad, an emotionally abusive mom, switching schools 15 times, a chronic illness and a debilitating addiction.
Somehow, I kept bouncing back.
I hustled hard and landed an internship with Interscope Records (Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish) and worked my way up to A&R, before becoming a music coordinator at The Tonight Show, then launching an artist development & talent management company called 5AM Collective, where I helped advance the careers of emerging artists.
After 15+ years of working in the entertainment industry and seeing first-hand just how challenging it is for both artists and executives alike, I decided to pivot and embark on a path to make a difference in the space. I completed a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, Santa Barbara and am now a Therapist, supporting creatives both inside & outside the industry.
