I’m a 2D animator currently working a paid position as an animation intern at Nelvana and student under the Sisler CREATE program. I participated in the Orange Tree Project under the guidance of Nickelodeon mentors as an animator for an animated short, and co-lead for series development. My team scored 7th overall in the 24 Hour Animation Challenge, and I’ve worked with the NHL to create content for Filipino Heritage Night. I’ve been able to share my experiences to audiences at Ottawa International Animation Festival, Toon Boom Animated Trends Event as well as students in California.
