➖On the eve of the 2026 @recordingacademy nominations✨ … and while I’ve had my head down working across three time zones (on most days), building a touring tool, and a label from the ground up with friends-turned-family… this one feels 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 special.
Right on time, actually.

I’m honored to join The Recording Academy’s 2025 New Member Class. Special thanks to Jason and Temske for recommending me!

If I’m being honest, I don’t always take the time to sit back and bask in my accomplishments. I’m usually already onto the next build, the next idea, the next project. But I promised myself to start sharing more… to celebrate the moments that remind me why I do 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 work in the first place.

Though I work at a major, I actually applied to The Academy as a Music Educator — because being a Founding Professor at @liubrooklyn + Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment (@rocnation_school) has been one of the deepest honors of my life. I made it to the ROC y’all, haaa!

@drexelwestphal… you’re up next!

Here’s to growth, alignment, purpose, and timing that makes sense (and cents). From the GRAMMY U trenches to Pro Membership 🥂

➖Me, in Dec 2025: “So, I really want to pivot out of the digital supply chain into physical (vinyl manufacturing, merch)… does NJ have any active record pressing plants?” — they do!

I discovered and joined @womeninvinyl top of the year (Heyyy Jenn 💕), and now we’re hereeee!

Spent the last few days at @makingvinyl conference in Alexandria, VA, and honestly, I left feeling even more inspired than when I arrived.

I had the opportunity to connect with folks from pressing plants across the country and around the world: I’m talking manufacturers, suppliers, equipment experts, packaging specialists, labels, and folks who have dedicated their careers to keeping physical music/ART alive.

What started as a curiosity has quickly become something I’m taking seriously.

Over the next six months, I’m dedicating myself to research, learning the business, building relationships, understanding the economics, and exploring what it would take to build something meaningful here in Newark, NJ (more on this later). Mark Reiter of @furnacemfg said it best, “…indeed, have that big audacious idea…” — and I’m in the process of making mine a reality.

A HUGE thank you to the Making Vinyl team / @bryanekus and Women in Vinyl, @marshall for the opportunity to be in the room. The community, the conversations, and the warmth I experienced were everything.

➖714+ days later…but who’s counting?

Funny to think I once wanted to be an A&R Admin…now, I’m out here building tools to make their lives easier: talk about a plot twist.

What started as a scrappy idea 4 years ago (a way to finally track creator credits at the source) — has grown into an enterprise tool being adopted by Universal, Warner, Sony, and indies across the board. Built using DDEX standards so credits flow with the music, not behind it.

My team led user research in the U.S. AND U.K. I ran the discovery phase as scrum master, handled the pmo across global teams, and now I’m driving product rollout and adoption @interscope and @capitolmusic. Proof that systems (and ideas) built with care, scale with purpose.

A true labour of love + WIN for the folks behind the boards: writers, producers, engineers — who deserve to be seen + credited in real time + PAID on time!

Go team, go! 🥂❤️
