Certified Tutor

I have always been passionate about helping students unlock their full potential. Seeing someone grasp a concept and apply it in a way that enhances their understanding brings immense satisfaction. Working with students allows me to share my love for learning while helping them gain confidence in their abilities. My experience with students spans a range of subjects, but I particularly enjoy working with those who are eager to explore the creative fields, such as design, 2D/3D animation, and full stack web development.

My teaching philosophy is centered around fostering curiosity and independent learning. I believe in creating a supportive and interactive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. My tutoring style is adaptive, catering to each student's individual learning needs, whether they prefer hands-on practice or theoretical understanding. I have had the privilege to guide students through complex problems, making sure they not only understand the material but also develop critical thinking skills that go beyond the classroom that are used daily in life.

My favorite subject to tutor would have to be with software on the computer. I am Adobe certified and know all the adobe softwares like the back of my hand. I also am well versed how to use 3D software such as Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, Zbrush, Unreal Engine, and Houdini. If you are at all interested in learning how all these softwares work together to make the movies and video games you love today I am more than happy to show you!

I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design and received a Bachelor's in Animation. After doing some animation contracts i decided to kick it up a notch by furthering my knowledge of coding so I enrolled in a bootcamp at Rice University where I got certified as a full stack web developer. All of this provided me with a solid foundation in both the technical and artistic aspects of my field leading me to some unique and fun jobs.

After my education I worked on music videos directing, editing and adding vfx for popular Hip-Hop artist like Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky and many more. This lead me to be the media director for celebrity jeweler Johnny Dang. Today, I mainly do contract work for design, animation, web design/development, illustration, and photography and videography for clientele I have built relationships with over the years

I classify myself as a lifelong learner because the world is so fast paced now, especially with technology, so I am always researching new methods and tech hardware to stay up to date with he numerous industries I work in. Whether it be a new plug-in for Maya or Blender, messing around with Unreal Engine 5 to make a video game or just simply watching tutorials and reading updated manuals.

Outside of tutoring students I am deeply passionate about computers. I've built every computer I've ever owned and am a little too obsessed with it. It's like adult legos for me. I also love to go play soccer or golf with a group off my friends. I'm no good at either but I get my workout in.

Hobbies

Exploring the world, both physically and creatively, is a major source of inspiration in my life. Drawing allows me to express my ideas visually and bring imagined worlds to life. Whether I'm sketching characters, landscapes, or abstract concepts, it's a creative outlet that keeps me constantly engaged and is a hobby I will do until I physically can't anymore. My passion for computers ties closely to this, as I enjoy blending technology with my creativity, particularly when building 3D worlds and characters on the computer. The challenge of constructing virtual spaces and making them visually stunning is something I find incredibly fulfilling. Beyond the digital realm, I love hiking with my dog and traveling. Hiking lets me disconnect and immerse myself in nature, it's basically my form of meditation. It's how I start my morning every day and if I don't, I will be a little off and my dog will be very unhappy. Traveling opens my eyes to new cultures and landscapes, providing endless inspiration for my creative work. The experiences I gain from these adventures enrich my perspective and often find their way into my drawings and digital creations. I also love going to different kinds of museums, not just art museums, so I can get a full range of knowledge and inspiration. I have yet to travel outside of the US but one day I would love to go to Europe to just explore and see all the sights, especially the Van Gogh museum.
