Summary

At DreamArcAnimationStudios, creativity and a flair for visual storytelling are the cornerstones of my role as a Character Designer and Screenwriter. With less than a year in these roles, my skill in breathing life into animated characters through compelling narratives has been a driving force. Our team collaborates closely, leveraging each other's strengths to create engaging content that resonates with audiences.

Concurrently, as a Jamaica Bay Wetlands Fellow, I apply my expertise in environmental restoration, orchestrating the delicate balance of ecosystem rehabilitation with the help of committed volunteers. This unique blend of artistic talent and environmental stewardship demonstrates my dedication to fostering both imaginative worlds and the natural beauty of our planet.
