"Seize every opportunity this sisterhood presents you." —Sabrina Kartzman (Iota Gamma-University of the Pacific)
Stockton, California, she earned a bachelor’s degree in music management, blending her creative talents with a deeper understanding of what it takes to support artists behind the scenes. While balancing her studies, Sabrina made it a point to attend as many concerts as she could in her free time. Her Alpha Phi sisters fondly remember her as the one who never passed up a chance to join them for a live show. Whether it was a favorite band or an artist she’d never heard of, if someone had an extra ticket, Sabrina was always game to go. After college, Sabrina set out to pursue a career in music production. Her first break came through a connection with her senior advisor, and from there, each opportunity — at Rhapsody, iHeartMedia, Google and now Meta — has stemmed from the relationships she’s built along the way. From supporting sales teams to negotiating global music deals, every role has added a new layer of expertise, only deepening her love for the industry. Problem-solving is Sabrina’s M.O. as head of music product business development at Meta. In this role, she keeps the needs of both artists and fans in mind, finding ways to align them efficiently and successfully. “It keeps me on my toes and taps into both the strategic and creative sides of my brain, which I love,” she shares. Her problem-solving skills wouldn’t be as sharp today without Alpha Phi. Having served her chapter as president and recruitment director, Sabrina gained early experience leading teams, making tough decisions and communicating with empathy — skills that have guided her throughout her career. “Looking back, those experiences were some of my first lessons in navigating real-world challenges.” To members still in college, Sabrina encourages making the most of the experience: “Build genuine relationships, invest in lifelong friends, take on leadership roles and step outside your comfort zone. Seize every opportunity this sisterhood presents you.” And while she doesn’t perform or play music as much these days, Sabrina is itching to flex that creative muscle again, especially since her 10-year-old plays bass and her 7-year-old is learning guitar. “I have dreams of starting a family band,” she laughs. “But wherever the future takes me, I hope it keeps me close to the creativity and connection that first drew me in.”
