As an adjunct game art professor at Miami Dade College, I teach and mentor students in various aspects of game design, animation, development, and production. With over four years of experience in the game industry, I have worked on multiple projects as a 3D modeler, animator, and visual developer, creating immersive and engaging environments, characters, and effects for different platforms and genres. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Effects and 3D Animation, a Master of Arts in Game Development, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Media Arts and Animation, where I honed my skills in animation, digital painting, and after effects. My mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of game artists with my passion, creativity, and expertise.
