What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and growth.

I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate from Southern New Hampshire University, specializing in 3D modeling and animation. My passion for graphic design and media arts drives my creativity and attention to detail. I thrive on constructive feedback and continuously seek to improve my skills in animation and video production.

Throughout my internships, I have developed a strong foundation in creating engaging 3D animated content. My experience includes collaborating with teams to produce educational videos about marine wildlife, playtesting video games, and designing logos. I have successfully animated characters and environments, utilizing various software tools to bring my visions to life.

In addition to my technical skills, I possess a growth mindset and am dedicated to delivering high-quality work. I am eager to contribute my talents to a dynamic team where I can further develop my skills and make a meaningful impact in the field of animation and design.
