Where do you currently work, and what is your job title? / Tell us a little bit about what you’re doing now, and how you landed this position/ What are some of your daily duties?

Currently working at Paramount Pictures as an Executive Assistant. I support the EVP of International marketing communications. My role is to assist and coordinate with the international PR and Digital teams that she over sees. Our department is in charge of publicity and digital support for the international theatrical releases of our upcoming films, so we are involved from production up until a bit after a movie releases. Whenever our talent goes on a press tour, dubbing, digital media, international magazine covers, interviews, talent social media takeovers, etc., is a bit of what we handle.

My day to day is to keep my boss as up to date with timelines, materials, notes, meetings, etc. We work with people all around the world so its important that I keep up with time zone and when setting calls. We collate and work on international PR strategies for our films and my job is to make sure all of our teams get the most up to date information, and that I compile it into the appropriate documents, lists, presentations that go our to our departments or shown in filmmaker meetings and pitches.

I also do smaller tasks like update her calendar, grab lunch for my boss because sometimes she wont even have 10 mins of free time to eat, order office supplies, filing, and other housekeeping duties. I landed this position because I made connection at the studio when I interned here. I actually interned for this department for a year in 2017. I left here to intern somewhere else but before graduation, when a position opened, I applied & reached out to express my interest. They recommended me to my current boss and in a way gave me their blessing.
