“Through the music industry studies program, I’ve had some amazing opportunities, like interning at multiple Danny Wimmer Presents music festivals throughout the year. This major pushes you outside of your comfort zone, but also gives you such an amazing community to lean on. This past January, I had the opportunity to attend the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show with my classmates. We networked with professionals, attended panels and watched live performances.
“One of my favorite memories is a trip I recently took with a couple classmates. We drove to Greenville to help with a John5 concert, the guitarist for Mötley Crüe. We loaded in all the gear, set it up and talked with the tour and stage manager, as well as John himself. It’s really cool to see what you can create when you put different people in a room together.”
