This talk will focus on my journey after graduating from the PNWFS program and how I slowly built my career across film, games, and various collaborative projects. I’ll be sharing how my first opportunities came along, what I learned from working on real productions, and how collaboration shaped the way I write and think as a composer. The goal is to give students a realistic and encouraging look at what life after graduation can look like, including the uncertainties, the practical workflow lessons, and the small steps that eventually lead to larger projects.
