Producer with a deep interest in Mental Health.

Biography

Graduate student at FIEA (Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy), with completion as of Dec 2023. My focus is on Production and I’ve been the Director of Development for one of the program's Capstone teams for a 10-month project with a team of 18. I owned the project's schedule, implemented Agile Methodologies to best fit the needs in each project phase, and conducted process analysis to counteract dependencies.

I was also the Project Lead where we (Team: 11) produced an educational game prototype to teach K-12 Girl Scouts curriculum-accurate cybersecurity concepts. It successfully gained approval for further development and research from an educational research team to reach an audience of 1.7 million Girl Scouts.

Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Information Technology. My other interests include volunteering for mental health support initiatives and participating in public speaking (President of Toastmasters group for one term).
