She worked in development at Fox Studios doing script coverage for Harold Ramis' production company Ocean Pictures.

Wood later appeared in G4's Attack of the Show, occasionally filling in as a guest correspondent and game news commentator.
Wood continued working with Xbox as on-air talent, and in 2011 became full-time Executive Producer of New Programming.
