Although a website blurb cannot begin to summarize who I am, I can safely say that I know one thing about myself. I am an:

ARTIST

Since I was a child, I have always had a love for creating. Although my forms of creation have greatly changed, I still find that the very act of being creative is what gets me out of bed each morning. 

While at university, I studied Games and Interactive Media with a dual major in Spanish. Due to a strong portfolio of artworks, I was privileged to be accepted into the selective Game Design and Development minor offered at Michigan State University. I spent my years in school developing a variety of skills in digital art, design, and communication. During my time at college, I was also given the chance to attend alt.ctrl.GDC as a nominee for a team game project titled Unicycle Samurai for which I acted as the 3D modeler and environmental artist.

While I may not have chosen a career in game design, I have found that my foundations as an artist have proven invaluable to my current positions as a Marketing Associate at Keystone Commercial Real Estate and a Graphic Design Intern at Digital4Good + #ICANHELP.
