We&#8217;re looking forward to more great work like that from each of them.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to learn some more about them!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Hello everyone, my name is Karla! Like most people, I was introduced to Pixar at an early age starting with <em>Finding Nemo;<\/em> however, I became enamored with their films in 2010 after seeing <em>Wall-E<\/em> and <em>Up<\/em> for the first time. Animation soon became my defining passion and ultimately, it led me to a career in technology. After graduating college in 2019, I had the amazing opportunity to work at Pixar as a Systems intern for the summer! I&#8217;m very excited to be a part of the Upcoming Pixar team and contribute as a fellow fan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hi, I\u2019m Maya and I\u2019ve been unabashedly in love with the animation medium all my life. My<br \/>\nappreciation started in early childhood, helped in no small part by the feature films and shorts<br \/>\nfrom Pixar Studios. It\u2019s difficult for me to pick an absolute favorite Pixar film when so many of<br \/>\nthem feature the kinds of characters and themes I love best. I\u2019ve always enjoyed writing about<br \/>\nthe magic of the animated films\u2019 art and stories so I\u2019m excited to share my perspective and be<br \/>\npart of the Upcoming Pixar team!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We hope you&#8217;ll join us in congratulating and welcoming them to Upcoming Pixar!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"tmnf_excerpt\"><p>I&#8217;m very happy to announce that the staff here at Upcoming Pixar continues to grow!
