I lead the Content, Broadcast, Post, VOD & Business Operations groups. A team of 200+ people covering 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. My team obtains, edits, localizes and broadcasts content for all Discovery’s channels and VOD services across Europe, Middle East and Africa

As a Manager in Global Mobility, I move employees from one international location to another, to facilitate a global workforce within Discovery. And I get the opportunity to interact with some of the most creative people in the world in a company that is at the cutting edge of modern entertainment.

I enjoy the atmosphere, corporate philosophy, programming and the people I work with around the globe. By working in the international side at Discovery, I have the good fortune of being able to meet great people from all our different offices around the world. I truly enjoy the feeling of working at a company that feels like a family everywhere you go.

First and foremost, I am responsible for the scheduling for all programs for Destination America and Military Channel with the goal of optimizing ratings by leveraging the existing programming inventory and new premieres. In addition, I oversee the programming budgets, ensuring we are spending our money strategically.

I am responsible for managing business negotiations, drafting and negotiating programming agreements for Discovery’s domestic networks and Discovery’s in-house production studio, Discovery Studios, as well as advising the various Discovery business units. Each business deal I work on, and production legal issue I trouble shoot, is unlike the last, and provides me with endless opportunities for growth.

My job is to bring our company and our channels into the press and into the public. I have to take care that Discovery is “the talk of the town” – and I love to do this. I love to work with different people from around the world. I can learn so much from the colleagues. We are one big family.

I love assisting education leaders in identifying their needs and crafting a plan to improve resources and practices for effective teaching and learning. Educators are preparing our next generation so I love helping educators do their work more effectively.

Discovery is the first and only company I have worked for where I felt that the company sincerely cares about the well-being of its employees and engaging their employees. Our HR department offers incredible health and fitness opportunities or awareness campaigns, and they sponsor employee groups for women leadership, diversity, and former military.

Though Discovery is a huge corporation, I always feel like I have a voice in the company, and that my voice is heard. It is inspiring to work for a company that encourages insight from all levels, and heavily encourages creativity, collaboration and professional growth.

I have the opportunity to negotiate with different kinds of clients with different conditions and opportunities in each negotiation, but always have the support of a great company like Discovery. This company is the best place to work for the way it takes care of employees, and of course all my partners because they are amazing.
