I work in the animation industry as a story artist. In the rest of my time, I do a lot of other things such as these: photography, writing, crafts, video making/editing, cooking, reading, and exercise. I’ve lived in California for my entire life. My family has lived in the same house since before me or my brother were born, in what is now known as Crenshaw Manor, as seen in movies such as Boyz in the Hood. My mom is an elementary school teacher, as well as a music teacher. She also used to be a wedding singer. She also, like me, does a lot of crafts, and other hobbies. My dad retired from his career as a mathematician/engineer. He now enjoys being a photographer, cook, furniture creator and builder, and designer clothes connoisseur. My brother is an artist, writer, and musician.
Education: I went to Montessori preschool, public school from Kindergarten through twelfth grade, and then two colleges after that.
