SCAD offered me a comprehensive education in film and television. They provide me with a firm base of creative knowledge and technical know-how to support my lifelong pursuit for creativity.

SCAD informed my visual aesthetic and built my foundation as a narrative storyteller, while I mastered industry-standard state-of-the-art equipment found only at major production and postproduction facilities.

SCAD shaped my mind function, first and foremost, as a team player, and then as a creative individual. I was trained that feedback is vital part of the design process, mentorship, and interpersonal relations. Because of SCAD giving me an industry-standards education, I nurtured a keen awareness on how the mainstream film & television industry has evolved over the last ten years.
