What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Production Assistant role where I can support seamless on-set operations, coordinate with technical crew, and help keep projects moving smoothly—while continuing to grow in film and animation production.

I’m a recent Carnegie Mellon BFA graduate focused on animation and film production, and I work end-to-end from storyboarding through final render. I’m used to managing independent film pipelines—producing, directing, and executing character modeling, environment texturing, and lighting with tools like Blender and Adobe Substance 3D Painter.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where technical crew workflows and on-set timing matter. Beyond film, I supported operations as a theater server and sharpened analysis and communication through a long/short equity hedge fund summer internship, where I produced an investment memo and synthesized daily gaming industry news.
