Academic and Studies

I earned a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Colorado Boulder. My studies provided a deep understanding of human behavior and psychology, enabling me to better empathize with and authentically portray the diverse characters I bring to life through animation.

Within my Sociology degree, I also focused on Race and Ethnicity, where I developed a deeper understanding of social dynamics, inequality, and the institutional forces that shape our everyday lives and relationships. This perspective has strengthened my ability to create nuanced, believable performances that resonate with a wide range of audiences.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I graduated from Animation Mentor's Feature Film and Polish programs. There, I trained in a world-class curriculum designed to closely replicate the workflow of a professional animation studio, including daily reviews, collaborative production, mentor feedback, and iterative note implementation. This experience allowed me to develop a strong command of the Twelve Principles of Animation while refining my performance-driven approach to character animation.

In addition, I became proficient in Autodesk Maya and began expanding my technical skill set by learning Unreal Engine and Blueprint implementation for gameplay animation.
