What is your role on ESPN’s El Clásico Miami presentation?
I am the director of talent bookings and production. On site, I am responsible for booking and getting guests for our SportsCenter on the Road set with hosts Hannah Storm and Max Bretos, and for multiple shows here in Miami as well as getting guests for our in-the-field reporter Toni Collins.
