CNN Los Angeles
For more than a decade, I hosted 'Escenario', a daily entertainment news show (40 million viewers across 45 countries) focused on all things culture: Hollywood, premieres, celebrity interviews, set visits, film festivals, music, concerts, art exhibitions, including live coverage of the Academy Awards®, Grammys® Golden Globes and other high-profile events.
While Los Angeles was officially home, I was often on the move, working out of Atlanta, NYC, Miami, Chicago, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City to name a few.
See below collection some moments from my time in LA, including interviews with international celebrities like Jenifer Lopez, Will Smith, Harrison Ford.
CNN Money
In 2017, I traded red carpets for stock markets and worked as a top anchor for CNN Money Switzerland in Zurich until the office closed its doors in August 2020. Watch a showreel and a photo gallery from this truly amazing work experience where I got an opportunity to explore and cover not only money topics, but also innovation, technology and diversity and inclusion topics.
What I do now
Since then I've worked independently as a virtual and live event moderator, Mistress of Ceremonies and host for a diverse roster of clients throughout Switzerland and Europe.
In addition, I have expanded my portfolio by offering voiceover services as well as on-camera media training.
