Just got back from Pittsburgh for the closing event of the Fred Rogers Writersā Neighborhood Fellowship š
Since September, my cohort and I have been refining our preschool scripts and learning how to present ourselves as professionals. Weāve worked on updating our resumes and bios, as well as building our online presence. Each week, weāve had the incredible opportunity to learn directly from talented TV writers in childrenās media.
As a shy kid who struggled in school and found comfort and lessons in childrenās media, this experience meant the world to me. Iām so grateful to the FRP team for creating such a thoughtful and inspiring space for us. Excited to start my mentorship next! āØ

What a magical kick-off for the @fredrogersproductions Writersā Neighborhood Fellowship!
I am incredibly grateful for my cohort and all the wonderful childrenās media writers we met. We learned so much, from how to brand ourselves to receiving feedback on our scripts. We even participated in a fun improv session to help us loosen up. It was an invaluable two days in Pittsburgh! š
Iām excited to share that I have been selected as one of the eight 2025 fellows for the Fred Rogers Writersā Neighborhood!
Mr. Rogers was a significant influence on my education outside of school, and as a child, I envied his collection of cardigan sweaters.
I am truly honored to be part of a program that helps writers build and sustain careers in childrenās media. I want to give a special shoutout to the amazing women who supported me along this journey.
Thank you to @amandita_naranjita for encouraging me to apply to the Fred Rogers Program, and to my mentor @x_jesenia_x for guiding me in writing my first preschool script.
