I am naturally a very positive and outgoing person, self motivated and I find it very easy to communicate with team members. As an animator and artist, I'd like to be included in creative projects that’ll give fun and joy to its audience. I want to be part of animation projects while bringing my experience and colorful personality to the team. I believe my organizational skills and work ethics always add extra to the projects I work at.
