I want to animate feature films and inspire people through them... the same way that I was inspired.

In the winter of 2014, I finally understood exactly who I was supposed to be as an artist. The night I watched “Big Hero 6” was the night I knew I was going to be an animator. I remember being completely awestruck and being a trance until the credits came on, I noticed I was sitting 4 feet from the screen on a footrest ... for nearly two hours! I knew I wanted to use my art to be a part of these beautiful movies that made people feel this way. I knew that I HAD to be an animator.
