Like most creative professionals, I’ve had an interesting career...
After five years in television production, I went back to school to pursue my dream of working with young artists. I earned my bachelors in Art History from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and my masters in Aesthetics and Politics from the California Institute of the Arts.
​
After graduating from CalArts, I stuck around for a few years as the Assistant Director of Admissions for the Character and Experimental Animation Programs. During this time, I was also Special Faculty for the School of Film/Video and the School of Critical Studies.
​
Recently, I was the Senior Recruiter for Sony Pictures Animation. I worked to find talented artists with fresh perspectives for the film and television divisions. In addition, I expanded their university relations programs to include more state universities and community colleges.
​
I’ve provided portfolio reviews, workshops, and classes to aspiring artists and animators across the United States and Canada.
I have the heart of an educator, the curiosity of an academic, and the experience and insight that only comes from working with artists at every level of creative production.
