Tell us your story:

When I graduated from my university with my Bachelor's in writing, I thought I was set to be an animation screenwriter, but things didn't work out the way I had planned. Then I went to the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts and grew in my talents faster than ever before. I met people who saw animation as art instead of just "some fad." No matter what, I'm never giving up on my dreams to work in Animation!
