Meet Nanda Saboia,
Producer of (mostly) comedies and development coordinator.
Immigrant, ambitious, career transitioner.
Nanda's a burgeoning producer, currently working at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as an intern.
But don't let the title “intern” fool you – in a past life she was an experienced tech manager. Ten years into a successful and thriving corporate career, she quit to pursue her passion for Television.
Nanda's act II comes by means of an MFA in Film Producing from one of the nation's best Film School and prestigious internships at The Television Academy – where she worked as Scripted Development Assistant at Jeff Frost's Bristol Circle Entertainment – and The Late Show.
If you need further proof of Nanda's tenacity and determination, know that she earned a green card as a skilled professional, navigated her career transition and earned her Masters degree with honors while taking care of her young son.
Nanda primarily works as a producer, but she also writes, directs and edits.
