I've been working as an animator for 16 years. I started as a 3D animation director and animator, but in the last 6 years, I started studying and working with 2D animation. I directed seven short films, worked on series, and currently am directing my first feature-length film, scheduled to be released in November 2023.

As a Story Artist, I'm very much someone who would be lost without stories in my life. I grew up in a family of natural born storytellers and entertainers, with bedtime stories that to me looking back, were great storyboard pitches and the introduction to the emotional connection that could be felt through pictures, drawings and great voices. So, I followed what felt natural and spent years sketching, pitching my way to becoming a Senior Story Artist. I believe that if my family had known that storytelling was a job, I am sure they would have all been Story Artists.

"I've been a director, designer, and animator for the last 15 years. I studied Media Art at Pratt Institute and my thesis film was my first collaboration with my twin sister, Noelle. Pencil on paper! These days we use Toon Boom almost exclusively and love how it stays true to traditional animation. This semester I started working as an Animation Mentor at SVA, helping senior students on their own thesis films. I work and play from my studio in Astoria, NY with my husband, our two children and two pets, from whom I draw endless inspiration. "
