About

I am a passionate 3D animator with specialized training from Vancouver Film School and Sheridan College, and over four years of experience teaching 3D animation techniques. I excel in character performance, pipeline workflows, and visual storytelling, and I thrive in collaborative studio environments.

I have deep knowledge of Maya, including animation and Python scripting, and I continually adapt to new techniques to help students build production-ready skills and translate classroom learning to real-world film, games, and VFX pipelines.
