About
I'm a Communication and CS double major at DePauw University, graduating in May 2026. I grew up in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and found my way into music through college radio — starting as a DJ, eventually running productions, and spending a semester in New York City working at Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge through Mercury East Presents and Live Nation.
I'm drawn to the intersection of music, storytelling, and technology. I care about how music connects to culture and community — and I'm looking to build a career in the music industry.
