The JUNIOR ARTIST'S JOURNEY

Hello, Space Cadet. Feeling unsure about your next destination?The Junior Artist’s Journey (or the JAJ) is a mentorship initative I started, aimed at helping early-career creatives navigate the animation and entertainment industry. It started out just as free coffee chat calls through Topmate.io which lead to my photo being featured in Times Square as one of the platform’s top career guidance counselors.Since then, I’ve had the chance to pilot the initiative through various classes, mentorships, and initiatives:

Children’s Media Association (CMA): I led a series called Developing Your Professional Face, focused on helping mentees build confidence in their professional identity — from resumes and portfolios to networking, interviews, and how to represent themselves in both creative and production roles.

Women in Animation (WIA): I ran a technical mentorship for 2D rigging in Toon Boom Harmony, supporting mentees with hands-on rig building guidance, demo reel feedback, and career advice to help them break into animation pipelines.
