TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND AND TALK US THROUGH YOUR CAREER JOURNEY SO FAR
I got my start in the industry as an assistant to Mosaic principal Jimmy Miller and went on to work directly with celebrities. In that role, I built relationships on-set with artists, which would eventually lead me to The Wall Group.
I joined The Wall Group as the agency’s first employee in Los Angeles in 2002, working alongside founder Brooke Wall as we helped to pioneer the careers of the first “celebrity glam squads”. The red carpet and Hollywood became a booming business for the artists we represent and The Wall Group LA experienced immense growth.
In 2022, I was elevated to Senior Vice President and Co-Head of Fashion Representation at WME Fashion, overseeing The Wall Group and IMG Models globally.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
In 2000 The Wall Group had 40 artists signed, and we currently represent over 250 of the best artists across styling, hair, makeup, grooming, nails, and set design. We have offices in New York, Los Angeles and London and are continuing to expand internationally. Working hand-in-hand with our artists to support and build their careers, and to see how the recognition for the work and craft of the creatives we represent has been recognized over the past nearly 25 years has been incredible.
I’m also very proud of the teams I lead at The Wall Group and IMG Models. They are the best in the business and the care with which our managers guide the careers of the talent they work with is unmatched.
