Jenny Ng: Reflections on 15 Years of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center

Jenny Ng was at the Cooney Center as an administrative coordinator in 2019. She’s currently a project manager at Noggin.

 

I am a mom to three young children and a proud alumna of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center! I had the great opportunity to join the team in June 2019. Although I am no longer at Sesame Workshop, it was a pivotal moment in restarting my career growth and in reigniting my sense of self within a team – and what a great team it was. My supervisors, mentors, colleagues, and now lifelong friends at the Joan Ganz Cooney Center welcomed me warmly, appreciated my drive and contributions to the department, and mentored me well. I was so proud to work with these brilliant and kind people, and so proud to work for the mission that JGCC embodied “to advance children’s learning through digital media.”  Currently, I am employed at Noggin as a project manager working with my mentor, the founding executive director of Cooney Center, Michael Levine. I could not be happier to be where I am now. I am grateful for my opportunity and experience at JGCC, as the people, culture, and mission have greatly and positively impacted me.
