KHIARRA JOHNSTON
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Khiarra (you can call her Khi!) is a recent graduate from Marymount Manhattan holding three degrees: Public Relations, Cinema, TV and Emerging Media, and Digital Media and Video Production. Additionally, she holds a minor in Law and Ethics. Khi has been involved in the entertainment industry from a young age, as she started performing as a dancer when she was three, and pursued acting by age 14. Ironically enough, Acting school made Khi fall in love with the action behind the camera, and she aspires to be a creative director of her own music video production company, or practice entertainment law by representing young artists trying to break into the industry. When she isn’t slaying the virtual To-Do list with Ms. Hendrix, you can find Khi listening to BTS or playing with her two dogs Koda and Laboon.
