					<description><![CDATA[I’ve been a life-long Southern Californian. After living in other parts of SoCal, I’m happy to say that I’m back in Pasadena for now and living just a few miles from High Point. I went to college at the University of Southern California and graduated in 2017 with a BFA in Film and Television Production. Since graduating, I’ve been working in independent film as a producer and editor, helping to bring entertaining and meaningful stories to the screen. In addition, I’ve recently added voice acting to my list of vocations. I’m a big fan of animation and video games, so getting to lend my voice to characters in those media is a lot of fun!]]></description>
