Given my background and experience, I believe I have something to offer the industry. My experience includes working at Turner Entertainment Networks Asia, Central Park Media, The Children's Television Network and Curious Pictures, where I contributed in the areas of film/video distribution, marketing and production. Academic-related projects include filming a documentary on life drawing, shooting and editing short movies on 16mm film, and experimenting with traditional and CGI animation.

Just as many believe the language of animation is a universal one, I feel that my overseas exposure to animation is something not to be overlooked. Having spent some time in Tokyo, I had the chance to learn about the animation industry in Japan, visit their studios, and witness their production methods.
