He was connected to Other Ocean Interactive, a Newfoundland-based video game developer, and soon met up with Office Manager Sequerra at Other Ocean\u2019s St. John\u2019s location.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ryan was wowed at the size of Other Ocean\u2019s office and very much enjoyed his mentorship. He relished learning how video games are developed, especially games for the Xbox One system. Ryan said he would very much like to work in video game development one day as it would make for a fun career developing games for multiple systems.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ryan said the MentorAbility program is invaluable because it allowed him to explore potential careers in tech, and it gave him a better idea of what direction he\u2019d like to take in the future. He also shared that \u2014 if he had to explain the MentorAbility program to a friend \u2014 he\u2019d say: \u201cThe MentorAbility program allows you to explore different careers and opportunities to help you decide what is the most important job that you will enjoy!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thank you for the kind words, Ryan!
