While being an artist may have not been my first choice, it is one that I have stuck with for most of my life. I was always watching cartoons as a child and got inspired by how unique and different each one was. I would draw the characters I see until I eventually had ideas for my own characters and stories. Making art not only became a hobby for me but was something I wanted to make a career out of once I began attending college. My grandmother was my main reason for pursuing college to take advantage of my artistic abilities. After graduating from University of the Pacific, I aim to become an animator while continuing to make cartoon art of my own during my free time.
