About

I am currently finishing my first year of my Masters in Fine Art At the University of Southern California. At USC I am studying animation with the John C Hench Division of Animation and Digital Art. I completed my undergraduate degree at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. My carreer path for the past 14 years went through several companies in New York City, and then back to Michigan where I had the opportunity to teach animation to some very talented individuals.
