From a young age, I always knew I wanted to be in entertainment journalism. Growing up with family in the business, I was able to experience all the cool things that happen behind-the-scenes on movie sets and thought it would be amazing to tell those stories to an audience who had never experienced it. 

I started off in print journalism writing in my summer camp newspaper to eventually becoming the entertainment editor of my high school paper. I would watch Entertainment Tonight religiously and dream about being a reporter for them. That's when I knew there was only one college for me with an amazing broadcast journalism department - The University of Southern California.

At USC, I worked for Annenberg TV News where I learned everything about creating my own package. I learned how to write, shoot, edit, and host. Before I even graduated college, I was featured on Access Hollywood interviewing Rita Wilson and Nia Vardalos on the set of the TV show "My  Big Fat Greek Life." Nancy O'Dell took me under her wing and taught me the ins and outs of being a celebrity journalist.

After graduating from USC in 2003 with a degree in broadcast journalism, I landed a job with Orange County TV as their entertainment reporter covering everything from charity events to the X-Games to the Academy Awards. I've worked as a freelance producer and host for WireImage Video, The Associated Press, EXTRA, E! News Now, YoungHollywood.com and many more.

In 2010 I decided to try my hand at YouTube. My friend Kristen Turner and I launched a fashion vlog called “Vainglorious.” We posted a new vlog weekly that talked about trends, do-it-yourself projects, and how to get high fashion at a lower price. With the help of Next New Networks, our show quickly garnered a following. In just a few short months, the show collected over 20,000 subscribers on YouTube and landed us a sponsorship with L’Oreal Paris. 

From 2010-2020, I worked for CelebrityFootage where I edited on a daily basis. I have produced and edited sizzle reels and EPKs for Paramount, Warner Bros., Activision, and the TCL Chinese Theatre just to name a few. 

One the pandemic hit in 2020, I started editing casting reels for a variety of shows such as The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and New York, Top Chef, The Floor, Iyanla: Fix My Life and Family or Fiancé and many more. It was fun dipping into the world of casting and showcasing my storytelling skills.

In August of 2022, I was contracted by NETFLIX to be a creative content specialist for their awards team. I helped produce featurettes, manage awards show assets, handle photographers and video crews at special Tastemaker screenings, and ultimately had a hand in helping Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and All Quiet on the Western Front win multiple Oscars in what was a very successful awards season. I was contracted again by Netflix from January of 2025 to July 2026 in the same role and worked on awards campaigns for Train Dreams, KPop Demon Hunters, The Diplomat, Black Rabbit and many others.

Being able to write, produce, edit and host stories are skills not many people have and with this ability, there’s no stopping what I can do!
