My Duties were that of a Lead Talent runner on set. I was in charge of making sure the talent checked in and were aware of what would be happening while on set. I communicated with producers to ensure proper direction, as well as with other P.As on set to let them know when Talent would be moving, and what was next in regards to the process throughout the day. I transferred talent from check-in/"holding", to the audition room. After the audition room, I would transfer them to the interview room and after that back to "post-holding" where I made sure they were checked out properly (i.e- Clerical/photo/video) and signed out by the producers. During my time there I was also In charge of clerical functions, and ensured all documentation was present, in order, and approved for a "green light" from both the producers and talent.

I was in charge of making sure the main talent (Damian Escobar) was dressed and presentable. My duties included steaming the garments, removing all garments from bags for set up. Organizing all garments and accessories for choosing as well as presenting all options in a cohesive manner. I was also in charge of preparing all garments brought for his background musicians, which included all garments brought by them and by the wardrobe staff. All wardrobe for taping segments was organized by myself and communication with the head stylist was done when needed.

I was assisting stylist Rick Johnson on the Season 2 premiere event of 'Empire' at Carnegie Hall in NYC. I was placed on Jussie Smollett team to ensure his dancers were dressed and presentable for the event. I was responsible for doing all runs, ensuring each dancer was accounted for, and ensuring all dancers were dressed in a cohesive manner. Any and all issues that presented itself was dealt in a swift and effective manner. We dressed the dancer for two live performances.
