Personal Statement

I'm a third-year student at the Southern Institute of Technology, pursuing a Bachelor of Screen Arts with a major in animation. As an animation enthusiast, I have always been interested in working in the film industry and one day being part of the building blocks that make movies an exceptional experience. I also enjoy being part of a creative team and growing as an artist. I am eager to take on the challenge when leadership opportunities arise, irrespective of time and pressure. Whether it's for my personal life, academics or volunteer projects, I'm motivated to strive for personal excellence in everything I do.
