I'm a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate from Lipscomb University, Class of 2026, with a background that spans both creative and hands-on work experience. Before college, I gained real world experience working in retail for nearly a year and volunteering at camps and natural disaster recovery centers while building adaptability and a strong work ethic from the ground up. During my time at Lipscomb, I've balanced working as a student catering worker on campus while developing my craft through student animation projects. This combination has sharpened both my professional and creative skill sets. I bring a mix of skills to everything I do: 📞Strong communication 🕰️Deadline-driven ⚖️Highly organized 🤝 Team-oriented 💡 Creative & outside the box thinking ♟️ Strategic mindset I'm eager to bring my creativity, work ethic, and diverse background into a professional career in animation and the arts.
