MY STORY: Born in New York, lived in Spain, raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In 2015, I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in Computer Art and Visual Effects. I then spent the next 5 years as a CG Freelancer, CG Lead, and Adjunct Undergraduate Professor within the NYC Commercial Animation Industry. Until the middle of the pandemic, in 2020, a couple of buddies and I started a remote animation studio called Super Dope and moved across the country to Portland, Oregon! In 2023, I left Super Dope and took a self funded sabbatical to re-evaluate my values and goals. I am currently looking for opportunities and the right team!

MY PASSION:
As a Mixed-Race Woman of Color, I am extremely passionate about sharing my story and connecting with other artists around the world. I believe in the power of sharing personal struggles, representation, and communal support. For this reason, I openly welcome invitations to chat in any capacity. And don’t hesitate to reach out :D
