Ev Mann is a Los Angeles-based college student with a passion for drawing, animation, and writing. She is currently a student at Santa Monica College and pursuing a degree in Animation.

She said: “Learning from the mentors will help me advise younger artists as I plan to volunteer at my high school in college. I would love to have some guidance as I continue to grow as an artist, and to be recommended on what would best suit me and help me as I grow into an adult.”

Ev has previously worked as an editing intern at Nickelodeon and found that experience really pushed her to pursue animation as a career. She has made a few short films, short stories, and thousands of drawings throughout her life. “I can never stop my mind from creating things, I never want to stop! I don’t think I ever will, for this will always be my life’s passion. I’m so excited for what’s to come!”, she said.
