  I was able to work closely with the production team of the Essence Music Festival and Rehage Entertainment. In a behind-the-scenes manner, I worked to ensure the fluidity of the festival by aiding the sponsorship companies listed below with the tasks that were presented each day. The planning stages allowed me the chance to work with some of the company's top marketers and event planners and to participate in conference calls with those individuals.
