What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my music licensing, contract administration, rights-management, and workflow-improvement experience in a role supporting production, legal, or music operations.

At Netflix, I draft, review, and negotiate music licenses that secure rights for placements across more than 150 Netflix Original productions. I also process payments, support legal delivery requirements, and lead onboarding materials for music supervisors.

I've led initiatives to build cloud-based data management and workflow systems, improving how music teams track licenses, records, and production information. I also analyze union re-use and new-use costs to enable data-based budgeting decisions for internal stakeholders.

Before Netflix, I supported FOX Sports Music and NFL Media through music licensing, cue-sheet administration, vendor onboarding, payment processing, and music-cue database management.
