What have you been doing since graduation?
Immediately after graduation, I moved to San Francisco for an internship at Pixar Animation Studios on the Incredibles 2. At the end of my internship, I was offered a full-time position at the studio and I'm still here!

Were you able to network through connections at SVA to get work?
I owe my job entirely to the Career Development team at SVA. They are the ones who helped me to get an interview with Pixar when they visited campus in December of 2017.

How has the transition from student to professional been? What are some challenges?
I'm not going to lie. The transition was not easy. It can be especially difficult to adapt to the new lifestyle when you move across the country for a new job. But after a year into it, I'm starting to sink some roots into the ground, and I'm learning the nuanced differences between what it means to be a working professional versus a student.
