About Me
Animator and Art Educator
After earning my BFA in Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design, I came back to my home state of Virginia to start working at CARFAX as a character animator animating the Car Fox. I have taught artists young and old whether it be through my part time role at a "paint and sip" establishment, volunteering at summer camps, or tutoring fellow art students, and I have found so much fulfillment in community-oriented roles such as these where I get a chance to not only help but meet new people in the process.
When I'm not busying myself with a project, you can almost always find me crocheting little trinkets to give away to my friends, listening to a good podcast on a hike, or burying myself in a crossword.
I have always been interested in cartoons, long before I knew about the complex world of animation as a whole. They were something that as a child could bring me so much joy and laughter and as an aspiring animator and story artist this is what I strive to achieve with everything I create.
Another big part of me is the film I spent over a year and a half on in school, Right Hand Man. Along with my thesis partner, Yaumara Carrion, we spent more time than we would both like to admit in the computer labs of Ringling bringing this film to life from storyboards to a final 3D animated short film. It follows Lucas as he tries to navigate a first date with Cristine; however, his conjoined hand puppet brother Cade also wants in on the fun.
