Nikia Steele

Sr. Manager, Special Events at ViaComCBS

I must say that what I love about my job is nurturing an idea through fruition. No event goes off 100% as planned, but being able to think ahead, go w/the flow and think on your feet, is something that I strive on as well.

What Nikia has to say:

Job highlights:

I’m Nikia Steele and am currently a Senior Manager of Special Events for ViacomCBS in New York. I’ve been employed at (formerly) Viacom for almost 15 years.
My job entails producing events - both domestically and internationally - from conception to execution. The events consist of dinners, parties, tradeshows, red carpet movements, activations/installations, etc.

A starter tip:

You’re off to a great start! Asking questions to someone in the profession you are interested in is extremely valuable. Intern and volunteer as much as possible.
A lot of professions are sink or swim – the quicker you can jump in and adapt to things, the better. It will be noticed and go a long way.
