Read the guide ↗I started Cape G Rocks in 2018 to bring independent musicians to intimate rooms where people really listen. Over the years, house shows and community events have introduced Cape Girardeau audiences to artists they might not otherwise discover.
Booking those shows showed me how hard it can be for independent artists to plan a tour. Routes, venues, dates, and contacts were scattered across tools. I built Map My Gig to bring that work together and help artists turn open dates into booked shows.
I’ve also spent years in operations and people leadership. At W. E. Walker-Lakenan, I support the people and processes behind a busy insurance agency. Before that, I managed operations at Heartland Chiropractic and worked in manufacturing HR.
I’m still based in Cape Girardeau. The common thread in my work is bringing people together, then building the structure that helps good ideas last.
W. E. Walker-Lakenan Insurance Agency, part of Sunstar Insurance Group. Team support, workflows, service operations, and day-to-day execution.
At Heartland Chiropractic, supported the office’s day-to-day operations, team, systems, and patient experience.
Built a foundation in people management and operational problem solving in manufacturing.
