Like many others, I grew up watching animated shows and movies and thought to myself, "Hey, this is amazing and maybe that is something that I can do!" 

My journey ended up not being a straight line, but I believe my past educational and work experiences before I came into Animation have built a steady foundation in understanding the importance of key dynamics in teamwork, observing performances, problem-solving in different ways, and being more comfortable with expressing myself -- all of which informs my work in Animation.
