Taught by veteran artists from Disney, Nickelodeon, and DreamWorks, I specialize in character creation, world-building, and visual storytelling. With a background spanning fitness, biochemistry, MFA-level screenwriting and art, I thrive on blending right-brain creativity with left-brain analytical skills and tackling complex projects with innovative solutions. I'm seeking an opportunity where I can leverage my art and storytelling skills. In my spare time, I read, ocean swim, and cheer for the New York Yankees.
