For as long as I've been playing video games, I have also been incredibly fascinated by the process in which they are made. It's been my dream to make games that make others laugh and cry, just like how many developers before me have. Now, I am closer than ever to realizing that dream, and I'm incredibly excited!
In every tool that I've worked with, I've had an absolute blast learning the ins and outs and everything that makes that tool tick. Whether it's C++, Java, Unity, Unreal, PowerShell, or something completely new, I will soak it up like a sponge. I welcome new learning experiences, especially if they will give me a challenge!

I've been working as an instructor since June 2023 teaching C#, RPGMaker MZ, Unreal Editor for Fortnite, GameMaker Studio 2, robotics, and Godot to students between the ages of 9 - 18. I love engaging with students on all manner of topics while walking them through important STEM concepts and asking leading questions to deepen their understanding.
I served as the DigiPen MTG Club President for two years, and in that time I have gained a lot of experience in shaping and guiding a community by holding events and reaching out to students who might be interested in joining. The club is a haven for veterans and newcomers alike and provides much-needed stress relief to myself and other DigiPen students.
I have worked as a TA for many classes throughout my DigiPen career. I love helping my peers understand the more difficult concepts of computer science and physics. I have walked many of my peers through pointers, references, algorithms, kinematics, forces, and even some Unreal Blueprints.
