As a gamer, I love jumping in and exploring new worlds. Something that I believe really makes world come alive is not only the story or the gameplay, but also the audio. I've been interested in game audio since I started my journey making games at The University of Tulsa my junior year. It fascinates me how much thought and work goes into making audio for games and the unique challenges that come with it. I've continued this passion while attending the SMU Guildhall to pursue my master's degree and have been able to expand my knowledge. While audio programming is my passion, I also enjoy the gameplay side of games. While playing games, I regularly look at the different mechanics I can see and think about how I would implement it myself.
