​Hi there! 

I love stories. Ever since I was a kid, I'd watch a film and wonder how a story could move me so strongly. I wanted to be a part of that. As I grew up and learned about the world of animation, I knew it was the career path for me. ​To me, the greatest moment in animation is being able to convey a thought and emotion in a character. I love being able to do so through storyboards and character moments in the film. Every part of the boarding process becomes a thought about the character and how they will react with the situations they're in. I love thinking through this process and bringing these emotions to the screen. 

 ​While working for companies like The Walt Disney Company and Warner Brothers, I've learned how to work hard to learn to be able to do what I love. I'm constantly looking for refreshing and original ways to tell a story and bring a character to life.
