Growing up, I originally wanted to write music for film and games. Before becoming a game designer, I was training to become a music educator and was an award winning music composer. In college I discovered I deeply enjoy bringing features to life as a programmer and learning how features come together. I'm known as someone who is constantly hungry for knowledge. I'm known to autonomously fill gaps I come across when needed.

I've worked professionally as a game dev for over 6 years and I've created my own curriculum for a class I taught at my alma mater regarding the "essentials" for digital game development. I pride myself on being incredibly self sufficient but not afraid to ask questions. My hobbies include activities that require a large amount of drive and determination where the general expectation is to fail a lot before seeing any success. I believe this is why I flourish in the game development realm. My ADHD may also be a factor.

When I'm not making games I'm usually struggling to squeeze in at least one of the many hobbies I have:

• Bouldering / rock climbing

• Playing music

• Tending my house plants

• Skateboarding

• Exploring new culinary recipes

• Reading - mostly comics and VNs​

• Trying to keep up with games coming out

​

Some of my favorite media to consume & re-consume as of now:

• Hollow Knight & Silksong

• God of War

• Sonic x Shadows Generations

• Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake

• Sonic Boom (the show)

• Bluey

• TMNT The Last Ronin

• Spy x Family

• Full Metal Alchemist

• The Pitt

• Ted Lasso​
