I attended Hardin High School, where I was voted most likely to succeed, participated in Business Professionals of America, was accepted into National Honor Society and acquired 1st, State or State Alternate in All Texas Small School Bands, All County Bands, All District Bands, and State Solo and Ensemble competitions. I graduated 3rd in my class and with Honors in all my classes.

I then entered Texas A&M University with a number of scholarships. I became an active member in the American Black Belt Academy, joined the National Black Belt Association and worked at the Texas A&M Math Department as a Teacher's Assistant. I studied Architecture during class times, and tutored students in Math and Computer Science during the evening and night.

I found my passion in art and began to do freelance work through out the area. Most were Cosplay (people who dress up as their favorite characters) paintings and drawings for anime or comic fans, and others were graphic design and architectural work.

Upon my graduation at A&M, I was accepted into the Art Institute of Houston, where I have been nominated as an Ambassador for the school, invited to talk at open house to incoming students and gained a National Merit Scholarship for my work. Here at the Art Institute I have gained even a greater love for drawing and animation and plan to continue my growth in this field.
