Food Network
Beat Bobby Flay crew — 300th episode
Food Network
My career at Food Network began on Chopped, where I rose from associate to Casting Producer and contributed to 300+ episodes across over 20 seasons. I sourced culinary talent, conducted on-camera interviews, and led casting for tournament programming.
I also supported casting for Chopped Jr., booking celebrity guest judges and culinary experts.
This foundation led into field producing across series including Beat Bobby Flay, Halloween Cake-Off, Buddy vs. Duff, and Bite Club, where I directed talent, conducted interviews, and helped shape story.
