Kayley Hamilton is the founder of UpLvl Agency and 2X Emmy-Award winning celebrity news reporter, journalist and producer. Kayley grew up mesmerized by the glamor of Hollywood and the influence of celebrity. Her childhood dream was to meet the people whom the world adored, to speak with them face-to-face and to connect with them as humans.

She didn’t want to be them — she wanted to know them. Although she was an extremely shy young girl from Colorado, her heart was always set on the bright lights of Hollywood. As a celebrity journalist for 7+ years, Kayley has interviewed hundreds of A-list stars including The Rock, Kim Kardashian, Chris Pratt, Katy Perry & more — and she has done so on the biggest red carpets including The Oscars, The Golden Globes, The Grammys and The Emmys.

In 2020 when life changed for us all, Kayley experienced a life transition and turned inward to search for guidance. Through the power of the media, thought-leaders, experts, high-value and heart-centered people found her. It was because of podcasts, digital articles, television segments, blogs, virtual talks and more that Kayley was able to discover not-so-distant mentors who expanded her outlook on life and helped her restructure the vision for what she believed was possible for her future. CEOs and entrepreneurs became her new 'celebrities.'
