About Aura

   I am an Animation Major at SCAD with skills in rigging, animation, and compositing. My aim is to enhance the story with eye-catching animation and visuals that come together cohesively.

​

   I'm always seeking opportunities to work on amazing projects using both artistic and technical processes to produce consistent quality in my work. However, I am particularly drawn to media with compelling representation as a non-binary and gay individual. I have my own stories to tell and hope to share them soon.

​

   I do all I can to shoot for the moon so I can land amongst the stars.

Throughout my life, I have been passionate about space. As a child, I spent hours talking to my dad about stars, black holes, and galaxies. I named my two cats Milky Way and Andromeda after the galaxies.

​

During my school years, I was involved in theatre and band. In high school, I played the flute in marching band and participated in school musicals.

​

I am a huge fan of fantasy, from anime to D&D to Renaissance fairs. I find anything that has an ethereal or whimsical feel to be inspiring and it fuels my creativity.

​

I have a particular fondness for playing or animating characters that are acrobatic, particularly monks. This is due to my past experience in karate and gymnastics when I was younger. Although I may not be as dexterous as I used to be, I still enjoy playing these kinds of characters in my favorite games such as Final Fantasy 14, Baldur's Gate 3, and Monster Hunter.

​

Aside from my love of gaming and fantasy, I also enjoy outdoor adventures such as hiking, zip lining, and white water rafting. The more challenging the activity, the more I enjoy it.
