Hi! I am a former Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks animator with film credits such as Tangled, Wish, Spiderverse II, Croods and Sea Beast. Recently finished up on the upcoming Ice Age movie. I have had the amazing privilege of working with the legends Glen Keane and James Baxter. Growing up on Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King and all the great and Disney, animation movies and storytelling quickly became my deepest passion. When I started teaching back in 2019 at animschool I developed another passion for teaching. I got lucky being able to learn from a great teacher back at Ringling, who I attribute most of my success to, so I know how important a good teacher is to an animators success. I try my best to adjust to each students need and help others the way I was helped. Animation is hard yo and sometimes we just need encouragement and a little help to make that breakthrough. Are you ready to create some awesome animation together?!
