Passing uploaded file to queue job

Hi guys, im having trouble passing uploaded file(image) to one of my queue worker. I keep receiving an error of Serialization of 'Illuminate\\Http\\UploadedFile' is not allowed

Which if I understand correctly that I need to store my uploaded file to the storage, fetch it and then pass it to one of my queue worker. But how can I do it correctly? Thank you so much

Filesystem.php

'returnitem' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/public/returnitem'),
            'url' => env('APP_URL'). '/storage/returnitem',
            'visibility' => 'public'
],

One of my controller

if (!$request->hasFile('image')) {
    return response()->error('Please provide an image file', 400);
}

if (!$request->file('image')->isValid()) {
    return response()->error('Invalid file', 422);
}

$imageName = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName(); // get file name

$storedImage = $request->file('image')->storeAs($request->user()->uuid,$imageName, 'returnitem'); // store uploaded file to storage

$imageUrl = Storage::disk('returnitem')->url($storedImage);

$content = Storage::get('public/returnitem/'.$storedImage);

and one of my queue worker

event(new LenderPaymentRequestEvent($variable1, $variable2, $variable3, $variable3, $content));
