With unusually broad experience in 3D modeling, character rigging fundamentals, character rigging for production, animation, and commercial graphics

Beginning art training at age 6, I participated in numerous art programs throughout the Beverly Hills and Greater Los Angeles area. My professional training and artistic background has given me a diverse set of creative tools and skills that are an asset to an organization seeking an infusion of fresh artistic talent.

I graduated from The Art Institute of Santa Monica earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Media Arts and Animation. The specialized training I completed gave me the chance to work with acclaimed professionals and teachers. Additionally, while attending The Art Institute I was a member of the Red Giant general production pipeline. From that experience, I learned the significance of collaboration and the importance of each team member’s contribution to completing successful productions.

In pursuit of excellence, I continue to train at The American Animation Institute in Burbank, CA. under the guidance of Karl Gnass and Mark McDonnell. I recently completed instruction in Character Rigging Fundamentals taught by Beau Janzen and Character Rigging for Production taught by Scott Rosekrans at The Gnomon School of VFX & Animation for Film and Games in Hollywood CA.

Some of my particular artistic skills  are sketching, watercolors, pastels, oil painting, acrylic painting, ceramics, creative woods, life drawing, photography, digital media/illustration,abstract impressionist hard edge and sculpture.

I am anxious to take the next step in my professional development and I am actively pursuing opportunities as an intern, apprentice, or trainee.
