As a lifelong writer & lover of video games, I was inspired to finally put the two together & become a game writer/designer after taking Stephanie Boluk & Patrick LeMieux’s course on metagaming at UC Davis. My time in USC’s IMGD MFA program pushed my interactive writing skills & made me a better game designer and introduced me to the formal game production pipeline. And once I found fellowship in the game dev & interactive writing community, there was no going back. When I’m not working on stories or fiddling in narrative software, my other hobbies include baking, reading, D&D, watching hockey, knitting, and being a proud plant parent.
