12+ years experience in both the Visual Effects (VFX) and Education industries, creating and delivering lessons on developing technical, artistic, communicative, and strong/soft skills. I enjoy mentoring, giving presentations, participating in panels, creating tutorials, and collaborating with artists, programmers, and educators to craft inspirational stories, tools, guides, and courses. I've helped more than 80 students from over 20 countries gain the skills necessary to be hired by major VFX studios, spoken at SIGGRAPH, worked on 16 Hollywood films/shows, written and self-published a children's book, and have written, directed, and edited 3 independent feature films and multiple online commercials.
