I graduated with a diploma in Advanced Studies in Character Animation from AnimationMentor.com. Animation Mentor is an 18-month program taught by Mentors that are seasoned veterans of the Animation industry. I was mentored by Bret Parker (Pixar Animation Studio), Sean Sexton (Dreamworks) and Elliot Bour (Walt Disney Animation) just to name a few.
