A game design major with a heavy emphasis on storytelling and a love for fiction writing, I am always looking for new inspirations and ways to craft narrative experiences. I hope to create stories that inspire and leap off the screen, or the page, depending on the medium that I feel works best.
Through Columbia and my work experiences with the Chicago Youth Service Corps, I have gotten to show dedication, leadership and have been able to take initiative to tell stories and facilitate opportunities to express myself/others. Whether that's helping organize a mental health resource fair, putting together a podcast, or creating a game that showcases the need for healthy workplaces, I try to take my creativity in whatever direction they can.
