My passion for animation began all the way in Jamaica. My siblings and I were raised in St. Ann, Jamaica. My older sister, who adored Pokemon, and I bonded over our love for anime and cartoons. She passed along a deep love of animation from both the East and the West.

I attained my Associate of the Arts with a concentration in Digital Media Design at Frederick Community College in 2019, I am also a former student of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). At UMBC, I studied Modern Language and Linguistics with a focus on Korean.
