outreach and engagement

Sponsored by Autodesk

Sam has always wanted to work in the animation industry and pursued it through grade school and college. She graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a B.A. in Animation during the great housing recession, so she pivoted to a career in teaching. After teaching for about 4 years, she decided it was time to turn back to a career in animation. She got started as a PA at Dreamworks Animation TV and worked on the side to improve her CG demo reel for surfacing. After 5 years at DW, Netflix called and offered her a position in Outreach & Engagement. She decided to take the leap of faith and has never looked back!
