During the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Solomon coordinated NBC’s Olympic cable coverage. Before that, she was a feature producer and associate director with NBC Olympics. She began her NBC career in 1990 as one of two Olympic researchers for NBC’s Emmy Award-winning coverage of the Barcelona Games in 1992.
