Experience or education which qualifies you for this board or commission:: I had wanted to be a tour
manager for bands years ago but after meeting people in the industry, I decided against touring and want
to get involved with music and events locally. I have many close friends who are crew members,
tour /band managers, and band members themselves. I put together an entire car show called Cruising
For A Cure in the Kennedy Mall parking lot in May 2011 within 30 days. Even with the short advertising
time, I was able to have 28 vehicles register and raise $700 for my Relay For Life team for cancer
research. Within 30 days, I was able to get 50+ raffle items, food vendors, music, and trophies.
Richardson Motors now wants my car show idea and wants to control the advertising of the event to help
promote their company. Doug Waltham has also expressed interest in me as well. He has contacted me
in regards to putting together a car show for his dealership in September. In 2007 I was the marketing
manager for the Band Queendrag, based out of Ohio. I booked their shows, contacted radio stations and
venues, and had them open for national touring artist Adema. I also sold merchandise for a local band
called Traverse for a few months. I have a professional quality camera and am able to get media passes
for shows to take photos. I have been to over 100 shows (and counting) and have many connections.
With being involved with the industry, I do not get star struck. I am able to help put up and tear down
stages, communicate effectively with artists and management, and promote events. I understand the
budgets, rules,and other limitations events may have.
What contributions can you make or state reason for applying ?: When I was in high school, my friends
and I got together and went to a concert at the Five Flags Center. I remember the line had stretched
around the building as the excitement for the show continued to build. The Five Flags Center used to be
happening place for shows and events. I am now 24 years old and I know I have the confidence, the
ambition, the connections, and the drive to make this happen again. I have over 5 years of experience in
the cell phone industry as well. That experience gave me more connections to local businesses and more
connections with the people of the Dubuque area. As a 24 year old female, a lot of my friends complain
about having to drive to Cedar Rapids, Madison, Minneapolis, and so on, just to catch a great concert, go
to a tattoo convention, a car show, art show, etc. I feel like we can have this right here in Dubuque.
Dubuque has so much more potential. It's not just my age group who would like to see a change with the
entertainment in the area. I have spoke to many elders who feel the same way. With our beautiful river
front, we should have no problem bringing in national acts or even up and coming acts. I can help put
Dubuque on the map for entertainment and events!
