talent management
make them look good (and keep them happy).
pre-shoot prep
I make sure talent has everything they need—research, action steps, the game plan—before cameras roll.
segment guide
I walk talent through each act, so they know their cues and talking points before we hit record.
on-set sync
I coordinate with producers (and talent) on any reshoots, recipe tweaks, or last-minute pivots.
in-ear coaching
I feed live story beats if their view is blocked—think Iron Chef America, where I was in Alton Brown’s ear calling the play-by-play.
talent first
Their success is my success. I troubleshoot on the fly and make sure their needs are met—whatever they want, they get.
