I began as a musician, playing drums and percussion throughout middle school and high school. As I began to branch out into other artistic pursuits, I discovered a love of creating music and audio for games that evolved into a passion for game development more broadly. I am now studying Interactive Entertainment with minors in Game Audio and Video Game Programming at the University of Southern California.

I am an energetic and excited game developer with specialties in audio design and technical game design. I love creating game mechanics and interactive audio/music systems that help to create powerful and compelling player experiences. Some of my favorite games include The Beginner's Guide, ABZÛ, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and Rocket League.
