What I Am Looking For In A Mentee - I‘d love to push FLINTA sound talent! I had great mentors throughout my career and I fall into the category of people that don't have any degrees but ended up in the best places by saying “yes, I can do this” and by delivering good-sounding results. Would love to hear of young talents that have questions regarding networking, showreels, portfolio websites. Of course a sound-nerd-tech-conversation will tick all my boxes as well

What I Am Looking For In A Mentee - I have been a mentor before. At Game Audio Latam we create a mentoring space that opens once a year. This one was very well received, with more than 15 mentors and 30 mentees. It was a very pleasant experience and I would like to continue being a mentor in different communities. What I look for in a mentee is a strong desire to learn and integrate into the industry. I want them to see the mentor as a guide and not a teacher. They can be entry level to mid-level
