Summary

Multiple years spent working with 3D animation software and experience working live events with sports broadcasting. Worked in groups in both an academic and professional fields.

In high school, my group won state for animation. At 12th Man Productions I won the "Engineering Rookie of the Year" award.


I have worked solo and with groups in multiple animation and interactive environment projects.

I have worked live broadcasted events on ESPN including the Regionals and Super-Regionals in the College Baseball Playoffs. I know how to work in a group setting and under a time sensitive environment.
