I recently came back from teaching English in Japan and am now looking for creative work. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from UMass Lowell with a Bachelors of Fine Art and an Award of Excellence in Animation, marking me the top of my class. Some of my major projects include coordinating 2 week animation workshops with Partners of the Americas in Medellin, Colombia, creating an 80 ft multi-screen animation for Boston Convention Center’s Marquee, designing and painting large scale murals in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and freelance jobs such as a stop motion animator for Pentucket Player’s Monty Python. These experiences have helped my skills in using Adobe’s Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, After Effects, Premiere, the ability to code HTML, as well as some knowledge of 3D software such as Maya. Both of my parents are designers so I’ve lived in a creative environment and have used the Adobe Creative Suite since I was 12. I have a large breadth of problem solving experiences which makes me a great flexible fit for any position.
