The Team

Barrie Meisner, as Associate Manager at JHA, and Josselyne's right hand, grew up in Manalapan, New Jersey with her parents and older sister. Barrie’s father introduced her to musicals at a very early age, thus beginning her love, appreciation, and passion for the entertainment industry. She graduated from Pace University in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Film Studies, and a minor in Sociology. Through her college studies, she was able to combine her passion for the entertainment industry with the study of people, culture, and society. During her time in college, she was able to work with several different production companies, allowing her to gain knowledge about different facets of the entertainment industry.
 
After graduating, Barrie worked with House Casting and The Mine Talent Agency. Working in a casting office and at a talent agency simultaneously allowed her to see both sides of the business in an incredibly unique way, and gave her invaluable insight into the business. From there, she began working at Bloc Talent Agency as a Talent Agent Assistant. Through her time at Bloc, Barrie was able to gain a concrete understanding of talent representation and all that goes into helping further one’s career.
