About Me:

Growing up in San Jose, California, I was always surrounded by technology. From an early age, I was drawn to video games, starting with classics like Star Wars: Battlefront and LEGO Star Wars on my old Macintosh computer. That curiosity led me to explore level editors like those in Men of War and Arma 3, where I created custom levels, testing them myself or sharing them with friends. I knew early on that I wanted to work in entertainment, initially gravitating toward movies. But once I got on set at school, I found myself drawn back to games.

Rather than listing my favorite games, Iā€™d like to share the three that have shaped my life and career: Overwatch, Firewatch, and Arma 3. Overwatch gave me my first real sense of community through gaming. Firewatch showed me the incredible impact a small team of talented creators can have and how a game can have an impactful story. Lastly, Arma 3ā€™s level editor was my first true introduction to game design
