I'm a Benefits and Leave of Absence Specialist at Lionsgate, following nearly four years coordinating leave-of-absence and HR operations at NBCUniversal.

I've also supported fast-moving entertainment productions at Fox Networks Group, YouTube, and Esports Engine, while coordinating COVID safety, testing, compliance, and crew communications for VENN and SAG-AFTRA. My background combines HR policy coordination, stakeholder communication, scheduling, and operational support across production environments.
