I graduated in August 2015 with a major in the Digital Media program with a focus on 3D animation and game design at Parkland College in Champaign, IL receiving an Associate in Applied Science degree. I transferred to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to major in New Media and further improve my knowledge of animation. I have graduated on May 13, 2018 with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts. Since attending at Parkland and UIUC, I have learned new skills and acquired experience such as using Autodesk Maya to create 3D models, made a game using GameMaker, and used Photoshop to create a movie poster. In addition, I created animation in Maya with characters that came to life and told a story. Plus, I use Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere to create videos showing acting, animation, and meaning.
