Carolina Elias

Executive Producer

Launched the first 18 episodes of a mission-driven podcast hosted by two adults with Down syndrome, amplifying underrepresented voices, leading creative direction, guest booking, host development, and end-to-end production and distribution. Carolina built a distinct, high-quality format that resonated with the disability community and expanded representation in mainstream media: securing national media visibility, including MSNBC (benefits reform), BBC News (AI & Down syndrome filters), and a Mother Jones documentary (Medicaid)

Supervising Producer

Carolina oversaw budgets and produced key segments across a 3-hour live broadcast for Done + Dusted, reaching 7.4 million viewers on CBS, and contributed to a 16% year-over-year ratings increase. She led talent logistics and the rehearsal pipeline for 20+ A-list performers in the show open, produced flagship elements including the In Memoriam package, Governor's Award segment, and managed complex music and archive rights and clearances — all executed seamlessly under live, high-pressure conditions.

Talent Producer

Carolina managed logistics and produced cast and families across eight one-hour episodes for season 4 plus a holiday finale of the Emmy-winning A&E docuseries produced by Bunim / Murray Productions. She built a high-trust, supportive environment that allowed for authentic storytelling on sensitive subject matter, contributing original story pitches drawn from her own lived experience as a sibling, and bringing a depth of care to the production that only someone with a personal connection to the community could.

Segment Producer

Produced multi-shoot packages in English and Spanish featuring political leaders including Pete Buttigieg and AOC, celebrities, and everyday community voices across a 4-night virtual broadcast. She served as a liaison between the DNC Committee and production crews nationwide, coordinating Roll Calls across all 57 states and territories while producing issue-centered packages on domestic violence and DACA.

VIP Ticketing

Since 2023, Carolina has been part of the four-person VIP ticketing team behind one of the most logistically demanding weekends in sports — NBA All-Star. Across three packed days and four marquee events, the Celebrity Game, Rising Stars, All-Star Saturday Night, and the All-Star Game itself, she manages seating logistics for NBA players and talent, ensuring that everyone from league stars to celebrity guests is exactly where they need to be, on time, in one of the most high-profile live environments in sports television.

Production Manager

Invited back for a second consecutive year by Joe Lewis Company after earning the trust of the Latin Recording Academy, Carolina served as Production Manager for the Media Center at both the 24th Annual Latin GRAMMYs in Seville, Spain, and the 25th in Miami. She oversaw the official winner portrait studio, coordinated logistics with news outlets, and managed the press room - the beating heart of awards night, where journalists from around the world gather to sit across from the evening's winners the moment history is made.

Segment Producer

One of the first major productions to return in person after quarantine, Carolina booked studios and crews across LA, New York, Nashville, and Maui to produce 16 green screen shoots featuring some of the most iconic names in entertainment. Julie Andrews, Bette Midler, John Travolta, Bradley Cooper, Bryan Cranston, Tom Morello, Phoebe Bridgers, and more trusted her with their moments, honoring the 2020 Kennedy Center honorees, each there to honor the luminaries who shaped American culture.

Producer

Carolina was recruited to The Game Awards after executives took notice of how flawlessly she had managed remote nominee logistics at the 72nd Emmys. For the 2020 broadcast she brought that same precision to gaming's biggest night, and they asked her back for 2021, where she produced on-stage moments for highly anticipated game reveals featuring presenters Guillermo Del Toro, Simu Liu, Jim Carrey, and Ben Schwartz, alongside performances by Sting, Imagine Dragons, and a 130-piece orchestra. She personally worked with all 60 in-show nominees to navigate COVID protocols for the in-person event at the Microsoft Theater, welcoming 1,500 guests back to a live show. In 2023, she returned once more for the 10th Anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl, capped by Jack Black performing "Peaches" from The Super Mario Bros. Movie to a crowd that absolutely lost their minds.

Coordinating Producer

Carolina was there when Kids' Choice Sports was just an idea and helped Executives shape what it became and left her mark on the show's DNA from day one. She conceived the idea of replacing Nickelodeon's trademark green slime with gold for the Legend Award, creating an iconic moment for honorees including David Beckham, Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, and Michael Phelps upon their retirements. She also helped develop original games built around world-class athletes, bringing a creative energy to the show floor, while managing rights and clearances across music and logos for all four years.

Nominee Producer

As Nominee Producer for Dick Clark Productions, Carolina managed live technical and logistics operations for 40 nominees across a fully remote broadcast on NBC, personally owning eight in-show categories. She secured a rare live television appearance by Bill Murray, no small feat, and when a critical audio failure threatened to silence Daniel Kaluuya mid-acceptance speech, she resolved it in real time with the director, making sure the night's first celebrated moment was heard by everyone watching.
