P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"My current role, I am the Manager of First Party Relations at Disney Interactive. So I am pretty much the liaison. I'm the go-to person when it comes to dealing with our primary partners, who are Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. So I am the first point of contact for, I'd say, over 75% of the business that gets done. So I work with our legal team. I work with Sony's legal team. I work with marketing, production, accounting, finance. I'm all over the place. So every day is completely different for me. I actually got lucky. I graduated with a degree in Finance and Real Estate. I started off as an intern with Disney Consumer Products in their Corporate Finance division. 9/11 happened. There were hiring freezes everywhere. So it was really hard for me to transition from my internship into a full-time job anywhere, not just within Disney Interactive. So a role was pretty much created for me at Disney Interactive. I transitioned there into Accounting for maybe four years. And then this role opened up. And I was pretty much hand-picked for this role. And I love it. No one does what I do. I love it. And I'm in the middle of everything. I know everything that's going on. I love it. Well, I never thought I would work in gaming. That was never me. I wasn't a girly girl. But I just wanted to be a businesswoman. I wanted to look at numbers all day. I never thought that I could live outside of numbers. And actually being away from numbers, I don't think I want to go back. I'd say, do it. Go for the goal. Go for your dream. But be open because you never know where your path may take you. Where your eyes are set, what you think is planned for you, may not be the ultimate plan. It may not be what's right for you. And you may not be happy doing it. So stay open. Always look for new opportunities. And just try it. Especially when you're young, just try it.
