SEASONAL PRODUCER | FIVE SEASONS
Five seasons. Countless moving parts. One spectacular New Year’s tradition. Since 2021, I’ve worked behind the scenes on KTLA 5’s live pre-parade specials, Backstage at the Parade and Parade Countdown, as a segment producer, field producer and preditor (producer/editor), helping bring one of America’s most celebrated New Year’s traditions to audiences worldwide.
From coordinating live broadcasts along the parade route to producing and editing fast-turnaround television segments, my work combines editorial storytelling, field production and the grace and precision required for live television.
Here are two broadcast segments I produced and edited, including scratch-track narrations.
