Author Bio

I'm happy to share some of my childhood experiences. I always had a big imagination growing up. My favorite place is Disneyland and anything Disney. I enjoy creating animation. I have now have two bachelor degrees. Entertainment Engineering & Design and Mechanical Engineering. I won first place for my Engineering & Design project. Although, I had some fears growing up, I overcame those fears and found myself pursuing two male dominated fields. I feel it's especially important for females to challenge and overcome those fears. I hope to continue sharing my experiences. Thanks to my dad and family.
