My very first venture into the Animated Film Industry took place when I was just 17 years old. I had the incredible honor of debuting Mikayla’s Adventures 592 at the Timehri Film Festival, an animation directed by myself and animated by Jumal Sam. Watching it on screen was nerve-wracking, especially with international filmmakers in the audience, but the applause afterward made it all worth it. I’m deeply grateful to GAN for their support in bringing this idea to life. To every girl with a dream, this experience is proof that your only limit is yourself.

The creation of my first Intro to 2D Animation course was an exciting challenge that deepened my passion for training young aspiring creatives. In collaboration with GAN Inc., I developed a bite-sized program using Pencil 2D. Seeing students bring their characters to life for the first time was incredibly rewarding. Ever since, I’ve had the privilege of guiding children through their first animation experience, watching their creativity unfold frame by frame. It’s been amazing to share this skill and inspire the next generation of Guyanese storytellers.
