Production
Broadcast, game show, and the film-school foundation that taught me to read a set.
The through-line behind every set.
Production is where my love for detail, timing, and people all meet. Whether it's a network game show, a prime-time special, or a student film shoot in Prague, the job is the same: read the room, anticipate the need, and keep the train moving without anyone feeling the rush.
I grew up on sets — not literally, but in spirit. Film school taught me the language of a crew, the rhythm of a call sheet, and the quiet pride of making someone else's vision possible. That foundation is why I can step onto a broadcast floor and instantly understand where I fit, what needs to happen next, and how to make the people around me look good doing it.
Every production is its own ecosystem. My favorite part is becoming the connective tissue — the person who knows who's where, what's running late, and which detail will save the next ten minutes. It's not the flashiest role, but it's the one that makes everything else possible.
Passwords (NBC) · Triple Threat Productions
NBC's Passwords with Jimmy Fallon & Keke Palmer — recruited off the Fallon holiday set, working both PA tracks.
What I did here.
Recruited onto NBC's Passwords — the game-show revival hosted by Jimmy Fallon and Keke Palmer, produced by Triple Threat Productions — through relationships built on Fallon's Holiday Seasoning Spectacular the year prior. A different production team, but the door opened because the work on the Fallon set had earned the call. Embedded across BOTH the Production PA team and the Talent PA team — a dual track that's usually staffed by two people.
Password — Season 3, NBC
Season 3 key art and official episode moments from the taped run with Keke Palmer hosting and Jimmy Fallon in the resident-player chair.
How it actually got built.
- Step 01Production PA track
Worked the production floor on set logistics, paperwork, runs, and cross-department support across active taping days — the operational connective tissue that keeps a network game show on schedule.
- Step 02Talent PA track
Provided on-site talent support for Fallon, Palmer, and rotating celebrity guests — sourcing and fulfilling all talent and trailer requests, owning pre-show prep and game-play readiness, and managing day-of comms.
- Step 03Production ↔ talent liaison
Sat directly between the production and talent teams to keep workflow tight under live conditions — surfacing blockers fast and solving on-set challenges in real time without slowing the production clock.
- Step 04How the call came in
Recruited into Passwords by folks met on Jimmy Fallon's Holiday Seasoning Spectacular set the year prior. Different production company, different team — same standard carried over.
What I executed.
- Dual-track PA coverage (Production + Talent) on an NBC game show
- Talent + trailer request fulfillment for host and celebrity guests
- Pre-show talent prep and game-play readiness
- Live production-to-talent communication loop across taping days
