Hello

This is a bit more informal, but I wanted to have a place to share a few things about myself if anyone was interested in delving into my story a bit further. No need for an autobiography, but sometimes personal lives can inform the professional side too. 

​

I was born and raised in Texas. Graduated from Plano East High School (PESH), and subsequently attended and graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT). I immediately started picking up a bit of work around Dallas in the indie film and TV industry. I loved working on set! But, frankly - I needed health insurance! When the option for Funimation (now merged with Crunchyroll) came up I couldn't pass it up! And what started as a need for stability turned into an unforgettable 11 years as a Video Editor (3 years) and Special Features Producer (8 years). 

 

Outside of a semester's length of time in Orlando, I lived in Texas my entire life until I moved to Scotland in 2020. I took a bit of a step back in my career as far as the "job title" went, but I was working quickly after having the right to work - so I was happy! I found great friendships and a warm welcome to Glasgow in my new coworkers at Anime Limited. Although I was sadly made redundant, I remain good friends with many of the team. 

​

I moved on to a contracted position as a Production Coordinator with Spud Gun Studios, where I got to hang out with some cool cats and learn all about the 2D Animated pipeline. Not only did I learn about it, but I had the opportunity to make improvements for the guys over at Mashed. I helped turn a £16K overspend into a £1K surplus by tracking budgets and projects in real-time, efficiently gathering and intuitively presenting budgetary data. This allowed for quick decisions that benefited the budget, and the project! 

​

My contract came to an end, and my friends at Spud Gun Studios have soldiered on without me. I'm now seeking my next big adventure! I am open to opportunities in and out of the entertainment industry. The most important things to me are that I have the opportunity to learn and grow my skills and overall knowledge, that I have a supportive work environment, and that there is a bit of flexibility to allow for a good work-life balance.
