HOLLAND GILLIS
3D Generalist
Hi! I am Holland, a student animator hailing from Boston, MA, and currently attending Rochester Institute of Technology pursuing a Bachelor's of Fine Arts for Film and Animation, and minors in Business Administration and Women and Gender Studies. For high school, I went to Boston Latin School where I was on the varsity basketball and volleyball teams, as well as participated in numerous volunteer activities through my Girl Scout Troop. The summer before my senior year, I organized the In Your Face Basketball League as part of my Gold Award, and through which we raised awareness for the lack of equity between girls' and boy's athletics. I then continued my basketball career playing DIII at RIT, joined SAAC as their Social Media Coordinator, and was named a Captain my senior year.
Summer 2022, I was fortunate enough to be able to bartend at the US Open in Brookline, MA as well as spending a month in Genoa, Italy working at an internship with the ToonTaun Animation Studio.
Summer 2023, I joined USA Deaf Basketball (and my former RIT teammate) in their journey to the 2023 World Championships in Heraklion, Crete, as their Social Media Coordinator.
Currently, I am abroad in Galicia, Spain, working as an English culture and language assistant at a secondary school in Muros. I pass the time learning Galician/Spanish phrases, coaching primary kids in basketball, surfing on the weekend, and traveling around Europe during breaks.
I also spend way too much money on coffee.
