Last month I went to Short Short Fest 2024!!! I had been helping out behind the scenes for a few months and it was an absolute blast to see so many amazing pieces of animation up on a drive-in movie screen. I love helping out with live events!! 🤗
I GRADUATED COLLEGE!!! It has been an insane journey involving two different colleges and a whole pandemic, but now I have a BFA! I majored in advertising and minored in animation and got high honors, woohoo! I'm so happy to have completed this achievement 🎉🎓🏅
OMG the Party101 Awards was AMAZING!! 🤯 Getting to travel out to LA and help with organizing such an exciting and unique event was an absolute highlight of 2023 for me. I met so many awesome people and had a lot of fun!!

I was just thinking today about how I have now officially helped out with half of all the Shrekfests that have happened since 2014...wow!😮 I am SO happy to have met all these wonderful people and to have had the honor of working closely with each and every one of them for so many years in a row. 💚💚💚 Getting to screen an early cut of Shrek 2 Retold and have my parents visit for the first time were two major highlights of this year's celebration.
Hosting a fun space where people felt comfortable to get out of their comfort zones and try new things is something I have always wanted to do. Variety Hour was an ongoing opportunity to do that, and I cannot express my gratitude enough! I had immense fun coming up with different themes and games and prizes for my classmates at CCS! 💚🩵💜💛
It was crazy and intense and wouldn't have been possible without everyone who came out to the gatherings and the other three officers who helped make it possible! You all made it really special! 💫🥜
