In addition to working at USC Annenberg as an adjunct lecturer within the Managing Complexity in Diverse Organizations (MCDO) program, Woo is currently the senior director of development at Culture House Media, a BIPOC and women-owned premium production company for film and television and a robust cultural consultancy. In her role, she leads the company’s premium documentary and unscripted slate and serves as lead consultant within the consultancy. 

Woo started her career as a community organizer before working for then-Vice President Joe Biden on gender violence prevention policy at the Obama White House. She later served as a communications director for Congressman Lloyd Doggett in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she was the only female Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) to hold said title in all congressional offices throughout her tenure. After co-authoring Yes She Can, a New York Times best-seller, Woo endeavored to use film, television, and creative storytelling to affect cultural change and amplify systematically excluded voices. 

Prior to her work at Culture House, Woo also worked as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) consultant and facilitator at ReadySet, produced social impact campaigns for entertainment companies, associate-produced Emmy-nominated short films, and supported Emmy-nominated director, Sam Esmail. She serves on the Associates Board of the Hollywood Radio & Television Society (HRTS) and is a founding board member of Young Entertainment Activists (YEA). Woo also currently serves as a semi-finalist judge for the Austin Film Festival’s Script Competition, a writer’s mentor for the CineStory Foundation, and a script reader for The Black List. 

Woo is a proud daughter of Chinese immigrants and is a graduate of both Duke University and USC Annenberg’s master’s program. She currently resides in Los Angeles.
