Welcome to my portfolio! ​​​​​​​
I am a grad student at University of Texas at Dallas in the Game Development M.F.A. program specializing in game accessibility and user research with a passion for the neurodivergent community. 
This past year I have had the privilege to be apart of several amazing programs including: Generation Google Scholar for Women in Gaming, Women In Gaming International Mentee, and GGP x Dreamhaven Scholar. I've also dedicated the past four years to teaching high school AP computer science and graphic design courses with the goal of empowering the next generation of diverse designers. I recently embarked on my journey in the games industry. Currently, I am a Content Specialist at Wizards of the Coast on their D&D Beyond team where I am thrilled to contribute to digitizing one of my all-time favorite games.
All these experiences have fueled my passion for game accessibility (especially in collaboration with the nuerodivergent community). My goal is to pursue a career researching, coordinating, and implementing accessibility in upcoming games.
