For my undergraduate senior project, I am embarking on a research journey to delve into the transformative role of social media for female musicians. The focus will be on how these platforms empower them to challenge gender stereotypes, navigate industry double standards, and confront backlash. I plan to host a podcast featuring interviews with industry experts and artists, providing a platform for their insights and experiences. This podcast will serve as a dynamic exploration of diverse perspectives within the music industry, fostering a comprehensive dialogue on the challenges and triumphs faced by female musicians in the digital era.

For a year-long school project, I teamed up with classmates to establish a record label. During this venture, I will take on responsibilities such as designing and supplying merchandise. Additionally, I am playing a pivotal role in supporting our artist, Luke Santana, by assisting in booking live shows. This hands-on experience will not only allow us to apply classroom knowledge but also foster a collaborative environment where we could bring our creative ideas to life.
