My name is Stephanie Troncoso, I’m from Palm Springs CA. I’m a Sophomore, Animation major, double minoring in Studio Arts and Chicana/o Studies. I actually came to LMU with the intent of studying animation and Chicana/o studies as context for my films. I did not expect to learn as much about myself, my culture, and about the history around me as I have in a single semester of taking Chicana/o Studies classes, so I’m definitely looking forward to more of that in this class. I’d like to focus on making animated documentaries, specifically regarding Mexican and other Latin American issues. I’d also like to work as a character designer in order to do research and meet people of different ages, areas, races, etc.. and do some traveling. I am at a very good place in my learning career so I hope to continue that progress for the upcoming years.
