While working full time and going to school part time I earned my master's degree at Rochester Institute of Technology. My focus is to help each student achieve his or her professional goals. I do this by providing clear instruction, honest critiques, and help create a supportive environment.
My interests and areas of focus include character animation, rigging and ZBrush modeling, and virtual reality for content creation.

I was in the undergrad program where we were exposed to a broad artistic education, as well as focus in a track. I chose the 3D animation track where we learned the entire production pipeline to include animation, modeling, rigging, lighting and rendering.
