I have learned an invaluable amount of useful information in the past couple years, from understanding pipelines in a production studio, time constraints and pressure management, to the necessity of making mistakes and learning from them, all while maintaining a sponge-like perspective on the whole experience. I am passionate about my work, and I thrive on opportunities to learn and grow both personally and professionally.
