- Birth nameOriana Burton Leo
- Oriana was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, where she started her career in the performing arts. She was always a fan of the elementary school theater, but when she laid her twelve-year-old eyes on Cindy Crawford hosting House of Style, she knew that would be her dream job. Instead of pursuing that dream, however, Oriana worked tirelessly on her backup plan. She received a full Academic Scholarship to the University of San Diego in 2001, where she earned her Bachelor's in Business Administration and became a proud Alpha Phi. She traveled to Rome to study abroad where she learned to speak Italian, dress Italian, and ultimately be mistaken for an Italian. She spent the five years following graduation working in pharmaceutical sales, mostly for the money. Tired of the corporate machine, she struck out on a journey that ultimately revealed itself to be the path to her dream job. Oriana decided to pursue the career of a TV Host in July of 2012 and never looked back - except to be grateful she's not back there anymore!
She now lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband Benjamin Thomas. She hosts multiple after-shows on Afterbuzz TV that include American Horror Story, Banshee, Fargo, and The Knick. Oriana hosts and produces her own show Running Errands in Hollywood, which is available for download on iTunes and to watch on YouTube. She is a Red Carpet Correspondent for the Red Carpet Report and Click on This, and is On-Screen Talent for AppliancePartsPros.com. She loves to talk and tell people what to do, so being a Host/Producer is an ideal career fit. She also loves entrepreneurship, talking about entrepreneurship, and trying to turn every idea into a business. Fortunately she also enjoys current events, pop culture, and all things lifestyle-related so she is rarely at a loss of words.
Oriana's ultimate goal is to host her own syndicated daytime talk show or entertainment news program.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Oriana Leo
