ABOUT mE
Originally, I come from the greatest city on Earth, New York City. When I was around 14 years old however, my faily and I had moved down to Gainesville FL, and I’ve lived in that town ever since. After I graduated high school I attended the prestigious Univerisity of Florida where I earned my B.A in English, and thats where I began to apply my passions for writing and storytelling.
Initially I remembered wanting to be a computer animator because animation was something that had alasy fascinated me and brought me joy. I soon however disocvered through trial and error, that I wasn’t exaatcly the sketch artist I needed to be for the industry. Even so, the passionate fires I had for storytelling did not exhaust, and eventually I diverted much of my energy towards writing and creating scripts. My love for marketing was realized, my second year enrolled in university. An opprotunity at the GAP INC. allowed me to be apart of and assist in a marketing campaign in one of their local locations. I enjoyed it so much that I continued to work for them for majority of my collegiate career. I recognized outside of my own stories their were thosands of others I could help tell. And since I spent so long creating myself, I felt confidant in my ability to help them create things themselves.
And the rest is history. Today I continue to create my own projects, but also assit in being a part of the Santa Fe College Marketing and Communications team, that allows my to put all of my skills and passions at the forefront
