"I went into my art program, unsure of what I wanted to major in. I stumbled across animation and took a few courses. After dipping my toe into the industry, I loved it so much that I decided to jump in full force. I haven't looked back, and that was fifteen years ago. I love that animation technology is ever-changing, and I am constantly challenged by new trends."

"I fell in love with animation at an early age. Whenever I used to watch an animated movie, I dreamt of making something like that on my own. I would run with my pencil crayons and try to recreate the characters that I saw. As I matured, I realized that I could use this skill and incorporate my love of technology. It was a no-brainer decision for me!"
