Producer and Live Show Director Paula Bond began accumulating her production experiences on Hollywood sound stages and red carpets while working as an entertainment reporter/producer for BET and KABC, followed by an assignment as segment producer for NBC's 'Access Hollywood'.

 

Prior to her career as a Television broadcaster and producer Paula's creative talents found the perfect expression when her fashion career took her throughout Europe. As a model on the runways in France, Italy, Germany, England and Switzerland, Paula perfected her craft. The outcome of Paula's worldly experience has resulted in her becoming a savvy Live Event Producer.
