Summary
I am a nineteen year old University student at OCADU, Toronto, majoring in Experimental Animation. I have been working as a lifeguard at the Nick Smith Centre pool/beach in Arnprior ON since the age of 16. I am looking for summer employment, as I will return to school in Toronto in the fall. I'm seeking to step into the animation field as early as possible. Storytelling through visuals is my passion, and I am eager to start as soon as I can by shadowing professional animators, learning new programs, discovering what it takes to be an animator and any other skills I can learn about the industry.
