I attended the post-webinar featuring Chairwoman Adele Newton- Watch ‘Women of Influence – Pioneers and Change Makers’ at SIGGRAPH. I liked the fact that these had working individuals have many years of experience and their own specialties. Mentors in their careers is a great way of seeing who inspired who to do what. Would you have done anything different in your career? most people would say what they wanted to do as a kid and I wanted to be a racecar driver. Not knowing lots of money is involved and being in my personal circumstance being young and broke, would be financially irresponsible. Marie Paul always wanted to be involved in graphics. She wanted it when she was younger, however, she wasn’t confident she would succeed. Overall this event was something to look at in different people’s shoes. Older women who stuck to their passion and had their own challenges in pursuing their passion.
