I’m moving on from my Disney-Fox career with nothing but extreme gratitude,
I’m grateful to Dana and Gary for taking a chance on an ambitious young publicist over two decades ago, and to the many mentors and champions I’ve had along the way, including Shannon Ryan and Candice Ashton.
Few people have shaped the voice and reputation of our studio the way she has.
