What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to express my creativity and collaborate with diverse teams, focusing on animation and cultural storytelling.

As an aspiring artist, I am dedicated to using animation as a medium to express my Asian heritage. My goal is to collaborate with diverse cultures, fostering unity, appreciation, and understanding through the art I create. I believe that art has the power to bridge gaps and bring people together, and I am excited to contribute to this vision.

Currently, I am a student at Windermere High School, where I maintain a strong academic record with an unweighted GPA of 3.89 and a weighted GPA of 4.98, ranking in the top 12% of my class. My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in various subjects, and I am actively involved in extracurricular activities, including leading my school's varsity swim team and participating in community service initiatives.

With certifications in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, I have honed my skills in both digital and traditional art forms. My experience includes creating commissioned artworks and leading online gaming communities, showcasing my leadership abilities and passion for collaboration. I am eager to bring my creativity and skills to a team that values artistic expression and cultural diversity.
