I’m a third-year 3D Animation student at AUT, passionate about storytelling through animation and immersive experiences.<\/p>

My strengths include Maya keyframe animation, Unreal Engine 5 animation integration, and working with Motion Capture, including performance and facial capture. I also have experience developing VR and XR experiences, combining technical skill with creative intent.<\/p>

I was selected as a peer mentor for first and second-year AVG Digital Design students based on my high performance, strong communication skills, and positive attitude. In this role, I support students within my course while continuing to grow as both an artist and collaborator.<\/p>

Known for being a fast learner with a proactive mindset, I’m always looking to take on new challenges. I\u2019m actively seeking opportunities in the animation and game industry. If you’re hiring or open to a chat, I\u2019d love to connect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
