About Tiara

Tiara is a Cum Laude graduate of the University of New Haven where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication with a concentration in Film Production and minor in Business Management.

She interned in production at NBC Syndication Studios for 'Maury', the longest running daytime talk show with a single host, and has 'PA'd' on reality television and commercial sets for CPG brands and television network promo. She also was a casting intern at Equity and Non-Equity auditions for New Paradigm Theater Company and Shakespeare on the Sound. Her experience extends beyond production as she has worked under both brand and project managers at marketing platforms and creative agencies such as Captiv8, Code & Theory, and JUV Consulting.

She is an active alum of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences GOLD Rising Program where she was mentored 1:1 by a Hollywood writer/director and was selected for a mini-mentorship group session with a TV/Film talent agent at Paradigm Talent Agency.

Additionally, she is a freelance host and entertainment guide, having taken improv, comedy writing, and performance classes at The PIT, Brooklyn Comedy Collective, and T. Schreiber. She has interviewed theatre artists and indie filmmakers for her podcast Generation T. She is currently revamping her game/talk podcast More Than Necessary with Tiara.
