Hi! My name is Theocita Allen. I am a Storyboard Artist and Animator for TV Animation.

I have always loved animation but I never imagined that I would be able to do it. Living on a small island your opportunities are very limited and I never thought I would be able to live anywhere but there. However, thanks to the sacrifices my parents made, I was able to come to America and broaden my opportunities. I am ever so thankful and grateful for them. 

 

On the last day, I spent on my island, I was watching 'Spirited Away' by Studio Ghibli. I was so captured by the animation, the beautiful backgrounds, and the storytelling, that I whispered "I want to do that." I didn't know what "that" was but I chased after it. 

​

Now, here I am graduating with a bachelor's in Digital Animation from Kennesaw State University. I am very excited to see what the industry has in store for me. I can't wait to be a part of it.

​

If you are wondering if I ever found what "that" was. I think I did. To me "that" meant making people feel something. I want my animations to tell stories that have a lasting effect on them. Whether that is happiness, sadness, excitement, uneasiness, and whatever else emotion there is!
