“After working in the health and fitness industry for such a long time, I noticed I wasn’t coming home feeling fulfilled. I wanted to be involved with something more creative and fun. I have been a gamer for as long as I can remember, so I decided to pursue a career in gaming. I took a 3D animation class in the Summer and fell in love with it instantly. My experience in movement science was a tremendous help in the transition to animating bipedal characters.

“Richland allowed me to explore a lot of avenues of game design. I started with an interest in programming and level design, but I eventually decided it wasn’t for me. Then I tried modeling and storyboarding, but I eventually decided to stick with 3D animation. I was able to use my prior management experience on Fowl Magic in a project development class and it remains a strong portfolio piece.

“I would like to own my own studio in 10 years. Also, being able to animate for The Last of Us 2 would be a dream, or something related to DC or Marvel movies as well.”

Dallas College student Bachelor’s Degree of Applied Technology
“After being homeschooled and graduating high school with dual credit prerequisites already done, I went straight into the workforce, no intention of getting a degree. I worked in a warehouse for about a year and thought about going into welding, but I injured my back. ... At that point I decided to go for my associate degree, which I accomplished, and now I’m working to get my bachelor’s degree of applied technology in software development this fall. I love that I can do it 100% online because I also take care of my family every day.”
