Chivone Smith is a reality television producer, born and raised in Chicago, Ill. After obtaining her Bachelor's degree from Clark Atlanta University, Chivone stayed in Atlanta and quickly began establishing herself as a journalist. After working as a news producer for one of the top news stations in the country, WSB-TV, she would go on to produce for other news outlets through ABC and the CBS network. Knowing that news journalism wasn’t where she wanted to be 10 years down the line, Chivone began pursuing opportunities to produce for reality television, where she currently works. Today, Chivone is a journalist by trade and a super producer by choice. She has always enjoyed the element of storytelling and has also understood the responsibility of producing work that thousands will see. Chivone believes that in her former life, she was an explorer. Outside of work, Chivone enjoys the simple things nature has to offer. If she’s not at home, you can find her driving around, nature-watching, taking hikes, and looking for her next adventure. But if you do happen to find her at home, then you’ll likely find her in the kitchen. She gets much joy out of cooking for others, hosting, and remaking her favorite restaurant meals, at home. Chivone is no stranger to change and taking risks and is soon planning to enter into the scripted industry where she plans to write and who knows, maybe even direct TV shows.
