Japanese language/culture & Astronomy. Only a few months after earning my degree, I achieved my lifelong dream of moving to Japan. I spent my first few years in a small mountain town teaching English, but eventually moved to Hiroshima to work as a graphic designer for a local magazine/tourism company. However, through a random twist of fate, I was given a 4 day trial at a 3D CG/XR company, and somehow gained enough working knowledge of Blender in that time, and started my new job as a 3D modeler the next day. Now I'm looking to take the next step, back home, in Michigan.
