“I went to MICA thinking I’d just learn how to animate Disney-esque characters, and left MICA with an incredible new group of friends and colleagues, a diverse portfolio of work, and my eyes set on a new pathway in the animation field. Going into MICA, I was a bit closed-minded about what animation was and what the possibilities were with a career in animation. I believed that I had to work at Disney or Pixar to be successful.”

“As I progressed through the animation curriculum, I discovered that there were many types of animation and I truly fell in love with getting nerdy and technical in After Effects.”

“This led me down a path towards learning more about motion graphics; which led to securing an internship at Discovery during the summer after my junior year at MICA.”
