As a multi-hyphenate career professional, I have several mission statements. My educational and artistic goals are mostly intertwined, although I am an active creative professional outside of instruction as well. I have been a director, a writer, an animator, a video editor, a motion graphics specialist, an illustrator, a 3d modeler, a teacher, and always a student.I enjoy working in education, as it allows me to foster the creativity of others while allowing myself to continue to grow artistically. In recent years, my experience within the education sector has grown quite a bit. What started as an adjunct position meant to pay the bills that freelancing just wasn't, has since grown to a full time art teaching position at the collegiate level, a subject matter expert (SME) in digital design and animation, a course curriculum design committee member, and an author of several collegiate classes.My career has been both unpredictable and multifaceted till now, but I have found stability and happiness being immersed in education. While I don't see myself ever fully leaving the teaching environment, my continued personal education and professional experiences have led me to exploring further artistic and technological career prospects.Primary Skills: 3d graphics/animation, motion graphics, video capture/editing, graphic design, illustration, painting, and sculpting. Soft Skills: Instruction, management of creative groups, multi-tasking, problem solving.Growing Skills: Software programming, information securities, UX/UI design
