#0024: Rachel Citron on communicating + dream job alchemy

Since then, Rachel has leveraged her skills to create not one, but two, dream jobs. By day, she’s the Head of Accounts/New Business at Powerhouse Animation Studios. Five positions and 7 ½ years later, she has worked her way up after starting out as the receptionist. Rachel opens up about what helped her do that and how she ended up with her initial gig - knowing absolutely nothing about the animation business whatsoever.

The familial and welcoming vibe of the Austin music scene has simultaneously drawn Rachel in by night and weekend. At a singer-songwriter friend’s insistent urging, Rachel started managing his music career. After gaining some music industry experience and learning the ropes a bit, Rachel hung up her Jet or Not shingle and started professionally managing more artists. She currently represents three local Austin bands and several other artists and songwriters.
