My career goals are to work for a professional video game or animation studio, enjoy what I do every day, and who I work with.

In high school I realized that I could make a living creating and being a part of an industry I really enjoy. I already spent a lot of time playing video games and watching movies, so I thought I would try being able to make and work on them.
