I am the founder of Rise Agency Group, a boutique talent agency dedicated to bridging the gap between brands and authentic voices in the entertainment and influencer space. My mission is to empower underrepresented creators and storytellers by ensuring they have access to opportunities that elevate their careers. I believe that influencer marketing should reflect real people, real stories, and real impact, and my work is centered on creating space for voices that are often overlooked. Beyond talent management, I’m a storyteller, traveler, and advocate for authenticity and representation. Whether I’m leading brand partnerships, strategizing influencer campaigns, or mentoring emerging talent, my goal is to build bridges between culture, commerce, and creativity—ensuring that brands connect with audiences in a way that feels genuine and impactful. I also believe that CEOs don’t have to fit a mold—we can lead with authenticity, personality, and passion while making a meaningful impact. Through my work, I strive to create opportunities that uplift, inspire, and push boundaries in the industry. Let’s connect and collaborate to bring more real, diverse, and powerful stories to the forefront of entertainment and influencer marketing.
