Global Publicity

In my professional career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on box office sensations at Walt Disney Studios, including Pixar, 20th Century, and Disney Animation films. Separately, I’ve worked Hollywood events including the Tony Awards, the Critics’ Choice Awards, and various events for the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys. During my time serving on Gamma's Executive Board, I simultaneously interned at HBO Max and NBC Universal while completing my degree at Florida State University. I began performing professionally in the entertainment industry at a very young age, so my admiration for this space is so special to me!

What advice would you give to someone entering your field?

Kindness is your greatest leading tool. You will never regret being an empathetic and intentional peer - some of my greatest connections have come from having an understanding point of view. Be the first in the room to volunteer. The go-getters are often led toward the most incredible experiences you could possibly imagine. Don’t consider anything to be beneath your pay grade - the tedious tasks have led me to the coolest relationships and craziest opportunities. Lastly, persistence is your best friend. You will encounter a million 'no's' during what might feel like your most challenging timeframes, but unapologetically sharing your determination will truly take you far. There are so many incredible opportunities to explore in this industry - do not sell yourself short. TAKE UP SPACE!
