"I'm in love with the entire process of animation. From the first few concept sketches to the fully composited and finished scenes. Due to some health issues, I realized I would likely never be a full-time artist, but that won't stop me from being a part of the field that I love. Currently, I’m a PA at Studio Smokescreen, a bridge studio in LA. My goal in animation is to uplift others as a producer, and knowing the ins-and-outs of the pipeline and process and connecting with artists on a creative level is something I strive to achieve."
