Objective

To create the motions, gestures, and expressions of three-dimensional
computer graphics characters and objects.

I’m looking to work in an environment where people are creating ideas and
stories that they are passionate about. Somewhere that I’m going to be pushed
and challenged, where I can learn from other animators, and keep striving
to become a great animator myself
