梦想的工作
Joey has the kind of job people dream about. 他看电视——很专业. He works at the heart of the shows and stories that fill our lives (and our streaming services). And he is responsible for hand-selecting and sharing the most pivotal on-screen moments; the ones that make us laugh, 哭泣，感受联系.
While Joey admits it wasn’t originally his dream to work in TV, he’s had an undeniable draw towards entertainment and talent for the arts since he was young. With a desire to pave his own path without having to leave his home state, Joey discovered the theatre department 卡内基梅隆大学 and realized the program was anything but “cookie cutter.” He knew the hands-on approach and unique emphasis on personal development would allow him the space to grow as an individual, while still being supported by a strong campus community.

我的建议
他的重大突破
当我们找到乔伊的时候, 他现在住在洛杉矶, he reminisced on the people he met and relationships he built during his time 卡内基梅隆大学. 事实证明, his college connections were his catalyst for taking the leap and moving to LA, where he put a whole lot of time and hard work into breaking into the entertainment industry. 乔伊忙着应付表演课, 试镜, studio interviews and a slew of production assistant jobs before getting his big break at DreamWorks.
As the asset coordinator on the Creative Marketing team for the animation company, he watches all of the studio’s TV shows and pulls the clips and stills to be used across marketing and social campaigns. The iconic moments Joey identifies are used to tease and promote the shows nationally — and he loves every aspect of it. 我们可以听到真实, palpable excitement in his voice when he talked about his work and his role that, 碰巧发生了, combines his childhood love for cartoons, passion for animation and experience in the performing arts.
Joey isn’t working directly in the musical theater field he earned his degree in, 他对此非常高兴. By venturing over the Rocky Mountains and off the beaten path, Joey gained practical knowledge and transferable skills 卡内基梅隆大学 that prepared him to always pursue his dream, 即使它在成长和变化. He knows he’s right where he’s meant to be, and he’s grateful to CMU for helping him get there.
