Skills

Motivated and Hard-Working: Quantity of polished work often exceeds expectations Much of the lore and world-building I did for the game "Godsoul" didn't make it into the final game because there was so much of it


Highly Knowledgeable: Passionate about games, novels, film, television, and real-world science and history, all of which provide a source of inspiration for my writing


Adaptive: Can write new stories and jump between genres quickly and easily, with sudden shifts in game direction rarely disrupting my workflow


Disciplined and Punctual: Managed to deliver every one of my Undergraduate projects on-time, and consistently kept ahead of schedule with game development group projects
