Overview
The University of Utah, through the alumni engagement community across campus, has a networking and mentorship platform to bring together U alumni, students, faculty, and staff in a tangible, exclusive university network. I am an active member of this network, I provide mentorship to students and participate in gaming program events.
Mentorship
As a University of Utah alumnus, I am a part of the Forever Utah network. This is a network that allows student to reach out to industry professional alumni for mentorship and guidance. I have had the honor of helping a few students by giving them feedback on their visual effects. Additionally, aiding in the development of their resume and portfolios. One student was able to maximize my mentorship by landing a job at UndertoneFX.
Student Work
Teaching
I recently had the privilege to come to the University of Utah and give a presentation on visual effects. During this time, I shared my own story of how I entered the industry and shared some advice with students on how they can grow and eventually break into the gaming industry. In addition, I have been consulted by the Professor of Visual Effects at the University of Utah to help with the development of the visual effects curriculum.
