I grew up in the small, rural town of Yale, Virginia. However, living out in the country and working on a farm didn’t stop me from finding and falling in love with video games. It has been that way since I first played Pokémon Red on a Gameboy Color. The feelings of joy and wonder that I feel while playing games inspired me to ultimately find my passion and direction in life.

​

As the end of high school crept ever closer, I tried to figure out what to do with myself. At the time, the world of possibilities opens and, honestly, it was intimidating. One day, I discovered the online education program my school partnered with offered an Intro to Game Design course. The idea of designing games interested me, so I took a shot and signed up for the class.

​

In that class, I found the zeal I had for designing an experience. Then, watching other people go through and enjoy those experiences, was the icing on top the cake. After the course, I knew I wanted to make Game Design my direction in life. To help realize this goal, I enrolled at Full Sail to get a degree in Game Design. I finished my degree from Full Sail and am now starting my journey to my career in Game Design.

​

What I bring to the table; I have designed and developed several small-scale games and levels. I have a logical mind, so I offer a solid understanding of programming and other logical processes and flows. I was also the lead for every team project throughout Full Sail, so I have experience coordinating a team and distributing work. Finally, I am a quick study and I am always willing to learn new skills.
