One of the things that I've always admired about games is their ability to create beautiful and unique worlds--through their art, through their story, through their characters, and through their gameplay. I simply love games and love the imagination behind them.This is the element of games that I want to be a part of: the designing and building of fascinating and creative worlds.

​

My journey into game design has been what most would call unorthodox. My undergraduate degree was not in game design or interactive entertainment, but history, which I studied at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). However, I found that having a degree based on analysis, research, and knowledge about events past and present  allowed me to apply what my undergraduate degree has taught me to my graduate program at FIEA.

​

I entered FIEA (Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy at UCF)  as a member of Cohort 13 in August 2016. While pursuing my Master's at FIEA in the production track, I specialized in level design--what I believe epitomizes the things I love about games; in that special meeting place of art and design! FIEA has given me a rapid, intense, and no-nonsense education about the game industry, and how to make great games. 

​

I graduated from FIEA in December 2017, and am excited to pursue a career in either game or level design! 

​

Besides making games, I enjoy reading, gardening, swimming, watching movies, comics...let me just cut to the chase and say any form of pop culture is something that I am almost guaranteed to enjoy! And of course, playing games.
