My Road Here

I began in school at the University of Arizona in 2017 but decided to withdraw at the start of the pandemic. In 2021 I returned to school and decided to study programming and game design at Dallas College and eventually transferred to UTD to continue studying Game Design. I hope to pursue a Master's after my undergraduate career.

/ My Story

Why I'm studying Game Design

Because I love Games! Specifically, Game Programming but I love to work with modelling and surfacing software, and enjoy drawing and animating in my free time.
