I was raised in the Detroit area. I lived in a little ranch house with a crab apple tree in the front yard that I would climb on summer days. I used to draw caricatures to cheer people up when I was younger. I am a recent Central Michigan University graduate. I was awarded a BFA in Animation with a minor in Dance.

My career in dance, partly as a member of CMU’s University Theater Dance Company, has influenced my animation to take on a strong sense of motion. I am inspired by folk tales and lo-fi beats. Between animation projects, I spend my time dancing and learning languages. Through a combination of 3D and 2D animation, I hope to create work with meaningful storylines and visual intrigue.

Everyone has a story worth telling. Whether it’s an epic adventure or a simple moment, storytelling is how we connect with the world around us. I have been getting lost in stories my whole life and I want to bring that joy to other people. My goal is to bring storytelling to life through the art of animation.
