About
Personal:
I’m an admirer of many things including (but not limited to) animation, filmmaking, illustration and design, art, photography, writing, and music. I enjoy many sports and outdoor activities such as camping and skiing and value spending time with my friends and family.
Some of my favorite places include: Banff, Jasper and the rest of the Canadian Rockies, Drumheller and Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, British Columbia, San Diego, and Hawai’i. I really want to travel to Africa, Greece, Italy, Japan, South America and so many other places.
I reside in Vancouver, BC. But have lived and still have pieces of my heart in Banff and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and the U.S.A.
Professional:
I recently served as the Producer for Zeros 2 Heroes Media and was formerly the Accelerator Program Coordinator for the Banff New Media Institute. I am an advisor for the Digital Media Association of Alberta and Digital Alberta, and a member of the Alberta Motion Picture Industries Association.
