When I was two, I loved reenacting the intro of "Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video," and started to draw that stuff out and that's how drawing became my passion. By the time I was five years old, I was diagnosed with autism. In 2004 when I was eleven, my family and I moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico because my mother works at the lab there. I continued with school and graduated from high school in 2012, and college in 2018 with a certificate in art studios. I published a picture book called "The Everything Puzzle'" with S E Burr in 2016. Then I started studying Exceptional Minds to study animation where I have graduated in June 2021. My personal interests include researching ship tragedies, broadway musicals, and J. K. Rowling. My career goal is to work as a Storyboard Artist/Revisionist or 2D Animator.
