I'm a Bay Area native and recent graduate living in San Francisco with my long-term partner and our five cats (Bao, Rena, Yuka, Ella, and Bento). I'm also a musician and long time service worker, having had to juggle both school and a full-time job simultaneously for over five years. My primary background is in 2D animation, but I ultimately want to become a 3D feature character animator. I'm currently working on my Maya proficiency and am open to all types of animation roles. I want to be able to help create characters and performances that let everyone see themselves reflected in animated media. I am especially passionate about companies and projects that promote diverse voices and are actively moving towards more inclusive representation both onscreen and in the workplace. When I'm not animating and listening to relaxing Nintendo music mixes, I love to cook, try new restaurants, weight train, catch up on shows, and foster rescue cats.
