Being on Netflix's Nailed it was one of the most nerve wrecking and amazing experiences I've ever had. Now I mostly have experience BEHIND the camera as a producer/production coordinator, but I will say that being on camera is a whole nother challenge. There were many cameras and people on set, 2 other competitors, and 3 Judges. 

​

Prior to filming they production crew had asked me if I needed any accommodations. Knowing how busy it may get, I requested an interpreter I can hear with my cochlear implant, but I can't hear 100 percent. Therefor an interpreter would be there to help relay any messages from anyone directed at me. It helped a lot, and highly recommend it to anyone who is going to be in a busy environment like this set was.
