What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level game animator role or internship where I can contribute strong fundamentals in an efficient setting and continue to grow in a professional game development environment.

At a game jam in Magnolia, I helped develop the concept, design, gameplay, and visual presentation. I also aided in art direction and created 2D assets as the concept became a playable game; the project received the Best Use of Theme award.

On a collaborative game development project, I created and refined 3D models and visual assets. I translated design ideas into 3D assets, revised work in response to feedback, and worked as a Quality Assurance tester.

My skills include 3D modeling, 3D animation, and concept art, using Maya, Substance Painter, Unity, and Mudbox.

At Loves Travel Stop and Domino, I worked on customer service and operations teams, handling merchandise and inventory, communicating supply needs, and training new employees.
