About

After graduating from UC San Diego with a degree in Communication, I started working as the Programs Director for Gilboa, an educational youth group. There, I planned LARPs, ran community events, and organized social justice programming. In 2022 I went back to school to focus on the playful and experiential elements that I loved about working with teenagers and young adults. In May 2025 I will be completing my AAS in Game Design from Pratt Institute where I’ve spent the last two years researching gaming communities, making video games, and producing a tabletop card game called Shmoes.For me, games are a way for people to consciously and subconsciously explore the most challenging elements of life, such as war, violence, technology, and trauma. I want to create immersive experiences that sneakily linger.I have a broad skill set that includes design (games, narrative, website, mass communication), development (HTML/CSS, Python, C#/Unity, Lua/Pico8), social media, project management, leadership training, art, and research.
