Transgender Animator, Videographer/Photographer and 3D Artist with experience in Autodesk Maya, Blender, Python, Unity, Unreal Engine 4, Adobe After Effects and SideFX Houdini. Able to bring excellent communication/collaboration skills, new ideas and exceptional products to their team.
My goal throughout my animation career has been to push myself and my skills. Since teaching myself how to use Autodesk Maya in my freshman year of high school, I have been constantly pushing the limits of what I believe I am able to do. By my high school graduation, I had finished 5 short animations, with each one designed to build on and surpass the previous one, and I strived to keep that momentum and drive to constantly learn and improve throughout my college career and beyond, eventually graduating RIT with a BFA in Film and Animation and a Minor in music. While working as an Animator at Little Red Dog Games, Robo Designs and Modern Games, I have been able to create expressive animations and 3D Art for 6 separate projects, as well as expand my abilities to adjacent departments, assisting with QA, rigging, technical animation and art, animation tool development and teambuilding initiatives.
Outside of work, I study and teach Historical European Martial Arts, recreating the ways people used swords like the Longsword, Langesmesser and Montante in the 15th-18th centuries. I also sail in competitive races in my area and love finding new places to hike!
