We all love backstories, so here is mine, simplified:

• I was born and raised in Venezuela.

• My interest in animation bloomed when I was 12 years old because I liked the messages cartoons implied at their resolution, and I was amazed at how smoothly kids' shows could convey important life values such as family and being honest.

• I moved to Florida, USA in 2016, and five years later, I consider myself as fully bilingual.

• In Summer 2017 and 2018, I worked at a summer camp called Shangrilá and I was mainly in charge of a group with girls from 5 to 8 years old, but I still worked with the whole camp. That job gave me a first-person observation of how a kid's mind works, how their surroundings change their behavior, and how they make decisions in a social environment.

• I wanted to understand the magic behind conveying messages, so here I am, majoring in animation.

• Up until today I rewatch movies and focus on all the relevant details that later on build up to the message sent to the audience, all to try and decode the work animators do to and become one of them.

• I figured animation alone cannot convey a successful message that everyone can relate to, so I decided to have a minor in Psychology.

• In my 21 years of life, I have picked many creative hobbies besides drawing and animating. I am interested in watercolors, acrylics, jewelry-making, crafting, clay-modeling, pebble-collecting, cosplaying, reading, and sewing!
