i’m the manager of digital marketing @ universal pictures. i’ve worked on movies like jurassic world: fallen kingdom, hobbs & shaw, the grinch, us, and so much more.
here’s how i got my job👇 [thread]
a few weeks ago we wiped the entire loki instagram account after a cliffhanger episode. and since then we’ve been teasing the evolution of a character who has chased a throne all this time.
god loki is here!
1. posts photo on ig
2. clicks on profile icon to see it in grid
3. accidentally double taps and switches accounts
4. thinks they’ve posted on the brand account
5. has heart attack and dies
17/ lesson three: chase your dreams!
if you’re a student or just someone who took the time to read this entire thread (hah!) feel free to dm me if you ever wanted to have an informational or just talk more about movies, social media, etc.

i think i can officially say this out loud now… i freaking LOVED the marvels. a genuine display of female friendship and a ton of fun. ms marvel steals the show and will make anyone who had a childhood hero feel like a kid again. watch it this weekend!

like this tweet if you’ve watched a tv show or movie recently and thought how weird it was that a group of people were in a crowded space without masks
i am not just saying this because of where i work, but avatar is AMAZING. it truly is the motion picture event of a generation and a movie watching experience you'll always remember. whether you're a casual movie goer, total cinephile, or somewhere in between you MUST WATCH THIS.
5/ lesson one: it’s true, when one door closes another one opens. and you’re not a failure because you didn’t get your dream role. sometimes you succeed in all that you did chasing the dream.
Check out the new poster and don’t miss the new trailer for Marvel Studios’

it means a lot to me that my scrappy little story has resonated with so many others.
my dms are filled with people who are chasing a dream, or who found hope in this during a tough time, or just also love the grinch! it’s amazing.
i love twitter 💙

14/ and now it’s been almost three years and i was promoted to manager earlier this year 🎉 it’s the best, i get to work on so many different genres and do so many creative things. here are some career highlights:
an honor (and a ton of fun) working on some of our biggest 2022 releases - Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Avatar: The Way of Water.
if you’re a social media marketer, or really just anyone who spends an alarming amount of time staring at screens all day, i have TWO recommendations:
[thread 👇]
7/ BUT i really hit it off with my could-have-been boss. so we keep in touch. i email her weeks later checking in because i saw one of her trailers. she replies telling me there’s a position opening up in digital marketing and she’s referred me.
12/ the grinch (with jim carrey) is my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. you don’t often get the chance to work on a remake of your favorite movie of all time.
my team was recently assigned to the universal brand accounts (SO EXCITING) but it literally takes all my strength to not tweet about the grinch every single day. sigh.
anyways go follow

3/ my senior year of college i was working for
@lafc
and so badly wanted a full time gig. i had played soccer all my life until a career ending injury and it felt like the stars were aligning. my dream job!
13/ a position opens up at
@universal
pics and i go for it. i talk about how much i love the grinch in my interview and get a 🥴 look...i still somehow manage to get the job after a series of interviews. and i get to work on the grinch!!
10/ working at
@focusfeatures
was fantastic. it’s a small studio so you get to take on a lot of work. i had the best boss ever and my colleagues taught me a ton. it was the best first job a kid could ask for!
one day you’re the young kid in the office telling everyone what’s cool, and the next you have back pain and your gen-z teammate is teaching you how to fix your tech problems
i’ve had social media since middle school. now i’m an adult and it’s a huge part of my job.
i talk a bit here about how my upbringing with social has impacted my work + how twitter has shaped my career.
hope you read it! 😊
last day. immensely grateful for the last 5 1/2 years.
“And what happened, then? Well, in Whoville they say – that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day.” 💚💚💚
4/ unfortunately, they were on a hiring freeze 💔 but i did some awesome work there, made great connections, and one of my mentors there referred me to a job at
@focusfeatures
11/ buuuuut i was always a bit jealous of the
@universalpics
team upstairs. i wanted to work on some of the franchises they had, and i especially wanted to work on a movie they had coming up, the grinch!
6/ so i interview at
@focusfeatures
for a role in creative advertising and make it to the final round. it’s between me and another candidate who has intern experience within the company. she gets the gig.
do you need to know photoshop to land my current role? no. does it make it 1,000x easier to get something approved when you can provide a decent mock up? YES.

i went to community college my first two years before transferring to ucla. at the time, i felt really gutted about it. looking back, it was the absolute best move. screw the stigma, cc’s are great! 🎓
recently reflected on my favorite campaign to work on. of course, it was the grinch (2018).
not only because of how much i loved the 2000 version as a kid, but because the film allowed me to introduce the story to my bff, emma, who now loves the grinch as much as i do. 💚
