Who I Am

About Me

I am a project oriented game designer who thrives at the intersection of design, leadership, and project management. With experience spanning game design, project management, and large team production, I bring a fresh perspective to every project I interact with.

I am a 2nd year graduate student at the University of Southern California, currently studying to get an MFA in Games and Interactive Media. In addition to being a games student, I am a personal fan of many game genres and styles. When I am not making games, I'm usually playing them! A few favorites of mine are TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Warhammer 40k: Space Marines 2, and Dave the Diver. I am also a very big fan of physical games ranging from card games, like Magic the Gathering, to board games, like Settlers of Catan, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, and Dungeons and Dragons. There isn't any game I won't try or experience I won't turn down!

In addition to playing games, I am also an avid hiker, runner, and enjoyer of music. From a young age I have played the drums and am classically trained in jazz. Getting some friends together and going to a jazz bar or local music venue is something I really love doing in my free time.
