Growing up in Williamsburg, Virginia, I was always immersed in story-driven environment, whether it was Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, or Busch Gardens. When I was at home, I always loved watching movies. It was so fascinating to me how a team of people, all with different skills, could create seamless environments that seemed to pull you into their own universe. I had always been drawing and I even started making costumes and props when I was about ten and did a great deal of sculpture in high school. In 2018 I attended my first Halloween Horror Nights in Universal Orlando. I was blown away. From then on, I knew I had to be a part of making these kinds of experiences for people.
