About
I’m a 3D Generalist with a strong foundation in both classical and digital animation. I studied Classical Animation at Sheridan College and completed the ANI program at Fanshawe College, which deepened my passion for storytelling, movement, and character performance.
For the past three years, I’ve also taught part-time at Fanshawe College, specializing in rigging and modelling. Working with students has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career—I love breaking down complex tools and workflows into clear, approachable steps, and helping artists build confidence as they develop their own creative voice.
My industry experience includes three years working at a small studio where I contributed across the production pipeline. This breadth of hands-on experience helps me give practical, production-ready guidance tailored to each learner’s goals.
Whether you’re just beginning or looking to refine your skills, I’m excited to support you on your journey in 3D and animation.
