Roll for initiative,

Since I was young, I've loved building and creating games for others, whether carnival games set up for my neighbors, board games drawn on paper, or games made up on the fly in times of boredom (to my parents' chagrin).

​

I began as an English and Spanish major after High School as I wanted to learn more about my interests and passions in academics before committing to a career. When I realized those fields could overlap with a drive for games, I pursued a Master's degree at the University of Utah and entered into Epic Games as a gameplay design intern on Fortnite: Battle Royale a year later.

​

I now enjoy a mix of work and life that keeps me creatively fulfilled. I'm an avid GM in two D&D campaigns, a musician, a Spanish-speaker learning French, and above all an intrepid gamer. My favorite games include Banjo-Kazooie, Chrono Trigger, Disco Elysium, Overwatch, Pokémon Gold and Silver, and Rocket League.
