My specialty: connecting shows with the high-profile guests they need to thrive. As a talent booker, I bring years of experience in the television industry beyond booking just on-camera/on-air talent but also industry experts and c-level suite executives, depending on the needs of a show.Given my producing background for both podcasts and television, I'd be excited to get involved with human interest podcasts to tell stories the world hasn't yet but needs to hear.
