Highlights
-
I’m an L.A.-based host and producer originally from sunny Florida. As the only child of a rockstar single Jamaican mom, it’s fair to say that she taught me hustle by example.
Early on, I knew education would change my life so I worked my way into magnet arts middle and high schools and then to Dartmouth, where I studied Neuroscience. But ultimately, I couldn’t ignore my love for all things entertainment and pop culture. Staples like ET and E! News were my bibles growing up, and I dreamed of co-hosting with icons Nancy O’Dell and Giuliana Rancic — why couldn’t I turn my dream into reality?!
I decided to take a giant leap of faith, and after college I moved to New York to pursue hosting. After years of working to catch a break, I won a 2014 national VH1 competition to be a reporter alongside Nick Lachey. That incredible opportunity led to more, and I have since hosted digital shows for Condé Nast, covered The Oscars, GRAMMYs and Tonys for The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, and written for Penguin Random House’s millennial division.
Life changed yet again when I moved to Los Angeles to help launch Steve Harvey's Emmy-nominated talk show "STEVE.” During my first year at “STEVE,” I worked simultaneously as an Executive Assistant and on-camera talent for the show's daily ‘Hey Steve’ segment in addition to hosting digital content for SteveTV.com. I was promoted to Associate Producer for the show’s second season.
Most recently, I rejoined Condé Nast to produce celebrity-driven editorial videos for iconic brands such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, Allure and Glamour. I also produce and direct video concepts for Tinder. On the hosting front, I’m a regular on Maria Menounos’ AfterBuzz TV network.
Random fun things: I’m an award-winning and nationally ranked Slam Poet, I was a 2016 Miss New York USA contestant and I love travel (14 countries, 25 states & counting!), tennis, snowboarding and my queen, Beyoncé.
