Hello!
My name is Reese, and I’m an LA-based aspiring entertainment lawyer, currently studying Music Industry at the University of Southern California with a minor in Classical Saxophone Performance. With nearly a decade of experience in the performing arts and a deep passion for the intersection of creativity and law, I aim to advocate for artists and contribute meaningfully to the evolving entertainment landscape.
My background includes internships and volunteering across music, media, and legal sectors; music mentorship roles; and hands-on experience in financial management, outreach and recruitment, talent relations, and legal studies. I’m committed to building a career that blends my love for the arts with a passion for uplifting entertainers to thrive as their most authentic selves
