On Camera
Booking
Available for hosting, interviews, speaking, producing and partnerships.
On-camera hosting
Red carpets, award shows, music festivals and live events — in English and Spanish. The parts where nobody hands you a script and it has to sound like a conversation anyway.

A 90 Millas — co-host, daily talk show on AméricaTeVé, alongside Rick Sanchez · Latin Grammys · Latin Billboards · Miami Swim Week · Miami Fashion Week

Producing, concept to screen
Booking it, shaping it, shooting it, cutting it and getting it out — for brands and for media companies. Over a decade of doing this inside newsrooms and daily television, not theoretically.
Track record
Cata Balzano Inc., founded 2016 — multimedia content for brands and media companies · Daily production for A 90 Millas
Speaking, moderation and brand partnerships
Keynotes, panels, launches and campaigns — led by someone who covers this industry for a living rather than someone briefed on it that morning.
Worked with
Neutrogena · Bacardi · Chipotle · Puma
Every booking starts with a thirty-minute conversation — you tell me what you’re building and what you need from me, and we work out whether I’m the right person for it. No obligation on either side, and nothing goes in a calendar before we’ve spoken.
Over 15 years in front of the camera and a decade in newsrooms, presenting and producing segments. Specializes in curating engaging content, speaking to mass audiences, moderating panels and hosting events.
