LIZ PAULSON

EVP of Casting and Talent

Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon (Live-Action & Animation), & Awesomeness (Live-Action)

"I hope to help shine a light on my mentees vulnerabilities and strengths, for me they’re often one and the same. I will remind one another that we’re constantly evolving and growing and that this relationship will ideally be reciprocal. I truly appreciate the role of the mentor and deeply identify with teaching. With that said, I’m reminded that we’re often mirrors and gain immense knowledge and strength through learning from one another and our ever evolving landscape."
