"I am a passionate 2D animator with a specialization in character animation, fueled by a lifelong love for art. My journey in this field is complemented by my educational background, having earned a Bachelor's degree from PennWest Edinboro University, where I deepened my understanding of both art and pedagogy.

My path as an educator began early in my adult life, where I've dedicated myself to teaching and tutoring across various settings. One of my most rewarding experiences was volunteering at Intiwawa in Peru, where I engaged with students in an after-school program, sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for art.

In addition to my work in animation, I've gained extensive experience as an educator. I spent three years teaching English at the International English Institute of Peru, which honed my skills in curriculum development and classroom management. My role as a paraeducator also allowed me to work with both typical children and those with special needs, giving me a broad perspective on diverse learning styles and needs. This experience has been invaluable, teaching me patience, adaptability, and the importance of personalized education.

My background in both art and education makes me uniquely qualified to tutor in 2D animation. I've always believed in the power of art to inspire and educate, and my commitment to this belief has guided my career. Whether it's through detailed character animation lessons or fostering creativity in young artists, I bring a holistic approach to teaching that considers each student's individual journey and potential." less...
