From Harvard to Broadway and all the wonderful moments in between: including her time at Next Big Sound building the data analytics system powering Pandora and teaching at Berklee College of Music.

From Harvard to Broadway. 
Today’s friend of the podcast is LITERALLY teaching me the music game. Graduating from Harvard with a degree in Computer Science, she went on to work at Next Big Sound – a platform acquired by Pandora to provide social media, streaming service, and radio analytics. 
 
Hailing from the Bay Area she started playing piano when she was four years old. Next? Did nothing short of taking the music world by storm. Some highlights along the way include HADESTOWN on Broadway to a recent streaming production of THE LAST FIVE YEARS from Out of the Box. Next up: a secret movie project.
