Hello!
I am a 2D animator, storyboard artist, and illustrator currently located in Orlando, Florida. I will be completting my MFA in Animation and Visual Effects from the University of Central Florida in December 2025.
Although I now live in the treacherous urban swamps of Florida, I was initially born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From basically my conception, I have found myself enamored with one thing: storytelling. In particular, I have always enjoyed storytelling done through visual mediums. At the age of 11, my family moved cross-country to Austin, Texas. It was around this time that I truly became inspired to pursue these hobbies. Over time, hobbies became passion, and passion became my goal in life. For undergraduate education, I received a B.S. in Radio-Television-Film from the University of Texas at Austin. After this, I went on to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Animation & VFX from the University of Central Florida, where I created this film as my thesis. My main focus as a storyteller is to create narratives that focus on the human condition through the lens of speculative science-fiction and mystery.
I am a life-long fan of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, and have a special place in my heart for “Dune” (1984) and nearly anything by Hayao Miyazaki. Outside of animation, I enjoy writing stories and music, watching films, reading, and exploring any natural beauty I can find.
My thesis film "You and Me" is currently being prepared for film festival applications. Please contact me if you would like access!
