Along with Bonnie Arnold, she was tasked with overseeing the creative development and production of DWA's theatrical releases.[4] However, in December 2016, Soria stepped down from her role as co-president of feature animation at DWA and returned to producing.[5]

In July 2017, Soria was hired by Paramount to be the president of its animation division, Paramount Animation.[6] She was replaced in that role by Ramsey Ann Naito in September 2021.[7]
