A Bit About Me
I was raised in Bridgeport, CT, and had the experience of moving frequently, which helped me develop a strong ability to adapt to new situations with a positive attitude. My diverse upbringing inspired me to pursue a career in media, driven by a desire to amplify the experiences and stories of those I care about. Working in digital production and social media has opened doors to unique opportunities, allowing me to push the limits of my creativity.
Work Experience
NBCUniversal
NBCU East Coast Page
The Page Program is a rotational learning experience that allows early-career individuals to explore various parts of the media industry. As an NBCU Page I manage the seamless audience load-in and spill-out process for over 200 guests across shows including Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Saturday Night Live. I've also had the pleasure of leading tours and educating the public on the rich history of NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
