Bio
Damon Berger
Natasha is driven and ambitious, and did a great job for us at What's Trending. I expect big things from her in the near future, and I recommend her, for her career endeavors after graduation.
Kent Sherman
Natasha was extremely helpful with a number of projects we worked on together including a broad-based competitive analysis. She showed a strong aptitude for evaluating and helping craft branding identity and marketing messaging. She was very reliable and had the kind of working norms and communication standards you would want from every employee. I would recommend her highly to any employer, that is unless we're able to retain her!

AfterBuzz TV is a new media platform, created by Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro, designated to producing live ‘after show’ webcast and podcast content for TV series, movies, and events of all kinds. When fans finish watching a specific show, they can go online to watch, or listen, to the live after show that features AfterBuzz TV hosts, who are an eclectic and knowledgeable mix of celebrities, personalities, and industry professionals. The after show is filmed in a multi-camera, state of the art HD studio, where we break down the most current episode, take calls from fans, and interview the series' stars and show runners. I hosted the after shows for "The Bachelor," "Modern Family" and "Khloe and Lamar 2." Show less
