In 2022, Maury McIntyre, president and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which puts on the Emmy Awards, was looking for a chief of staff.
Initially, he thought someone who'd worked in a similar role before would be the right fit.
Curry had been teaching choreography at private schools and though her background wasn't quite what McIntyre had been looking for, she had "the most kick-ass cover letter I've ever read."
The Television Academy hired her soon thereafter and she's been working there ever since.
Here's what convinced McIntyre to bring Curry in for an interview and his advice to other job seekers out there.
