I have over 16 years experience animating on a remote freelance and onsite basis. I have worked on 4 animated features including Sony Imagework's "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball 2:Revenge of the left Overs", five 30 minute TV short movies including Magic Light Picture's Oscar nominated Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes" and "Room on the Broom" and most recently Gísli Darri Halldórsson's Oscar nominated short movie "Yes-People", four animated television series including "Doc Mcstuffins" (Brown Bag films), and video game cut-scenes on various Lego Titles and Ice Age 3 the video game.

My goals are to continue to build on my experience and to keep learning to improve as an animator. I love working on feature productions and short films but ultimately I want to be somewhere that I am continually learning and doing what I love, be it in feature, commercials, cut scenes or television
