She has also handled music clearances for metaverse platforms such as Meta and Roblox; films by Martin Scorsese, The Coen Brothers, and Richard Linklater; TV series on HBO, Showtime, Netflix, and Paramount; Grand Rights clearance for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway sensation “Hamilton” and and political campaign clearances for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign.
