About Me
I graduated from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts in 2020 with a BA in Cinema and Media Studies. I most recently worked at CNBC helping to launch its global news show The News with Shepard Smith. I started with the company as a Production Assistant, and in less than two years, I was promoted to Associate then Segment Producer. Last November, when The News with Shepard Smith was canceled, I decided to take a year off to travel.
​
I have interned at CNBC, The Today Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Daily Show. During my time in school, I also concurrently worked with USC's Price School of Public Policy as a video producer and editor for nearly three years.
