From a young age I was drawn to entertainment, but one moment made it undeniable. As I watched Giuliana Rancic host red carpet coverage of the Grammys Live from E!, everything clicked. The energy, her questions, the unseen work behind it all—I didn’t just want to watch it. I wanted to be part of it!

My journey into the world of television and radio broadcasting began over a decade ago at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. I’ve always been fueled by millennial pop-culture, a love of great stories, and a curiosity for what makes people tick! My biggest passion? Connecting with people across the globe who intrigue and inspire me most, diving into their unique backgrounds, and turning real moments into unforgettable television.

2AM isn’t the middle of the night—it’s my call time as a Producer for NewsNation’s national morning show Morning in America. I book and produce A-list talent, pitch engaging entertainment news segments, research and write scripts for impactful feature pieces, and help shape franchise and integrated content that connects with audiences nationwide. I’ve developed and elevated branded segments on the network including What’s On Tap, A Moment in Time, The Scoop, BestReviews, and Take Two & Call Us in the Morning-- our weekly health segment featuring renowned twin doctors Dr. I & Dr. J. I’ve covered everything from the economic impact of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour to viral sensations like Pappy the Poodle, worked with icons like William Shatner and Diane Keaton, and created topical games tailored to guests or national holidays. I’ve also had opportunities to produce live shots that have taken me to exciting events like CMA Fest in Nashville. 

My career path started in radio at B96 Chicago, then led me to US99 Country, where I worked my way up to on-air producing— landing on the airwaves as “Mambo Italiano.” That fast-paced experience carried into roles on nationally syndicated shows like Steve Harvey, Judge Mathis, Big Brother, and WCIU’s The Jam-- sharpening my instincts for compelling, audience-driven content.

Along the way, I’ve been lucky enough to work on projects with names like Henry Winkler, Donny Osmond, Mario Lopez, Giuliana and Bill Rancic, Bob Saget--- and produced feature pieces ranging from the 100th Anniversary of the Radio City Rockettes, Walt Disney’s Childhood Home, Black History Month specials--- and of course, buzzy pop culture comebacks like the return of McDonald’s Snack Wrap.

When awards season hits, you’ll find me right where the action is— working the Live from E! red carpets… and yes, beaming with joy because what a full circle moment! I support our top-tier talent team and production from the ground up— from printing and distributing scripts to coordinating with producers and publicists in the midst of chaos, assisting with talent flow and live hits, and helping ensure everything runs seamlessly in a high-pressure environment like the Emmys, Oscars, Grammys, Met Gala, and beyond!

When I do hit pause, I switch into “airplane mode”—always chasing my next adventure. Whether it’s hopping on a flight to check out the latest theme park attraction, singing my heart out at any live concert, or putting my random knowledge to the test at trivia night with friends…I’m all in! I’m also a sucker for checking out the latest foodie hot spots with my big Italian family and at the end of the day, I proudly answer to my most important role, being a dog mom to my 5-pound maltese, Princess Mia!
