Nina Woodard

Nina Woodard believes in the power of asking great questions. A former senior level music industry executive with 30+ years of expertise in corporate leadership, career development and brand marketing, Nina is uniquely suited to guide organizations and individuals towards developing strategies and achieving goals.

Nina was fortunate enough to get her dream job right out of college. While she didn’t realize it at the time, her first destination role as a marketing assistant with a small label in Nashville would lead to a 23-year career in Christian music that allowed her to pursue a personal passion, to utilize her talents, and to invest in a mission of great significance. As a member of the Belmont Career Development team, she has pointed that same passion, skill and purpose towards helping others achieve their professional dreams. She considers serving students another dream job!

In her current role, she cultivates entertainment industry partnerships and provides career development coaching, resources and programming for students and alumni in the Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business and the College of Music and Performing Arts. A 2006 Leadership Music graduate, Nina is a former Chair of the Porter’s Call Board of Directors and a current member of the organization’s Advisory Council.

Nina’s husband (Luke) is a Creative Entrepreneur doing full-time music work as a composer, arranger, transcriptionist and engraver. They are both active in church music ministry and love having their home filled with music. Their dog Sadie makes them laugh every single day.
