About
​
Growing up I moved a lot, going from New Jersey to Massachusetts, to New York, before finally arriving in Florida in sixth grade. During my grade school years I competed in numerous sports, including soccer, baseball, and Judo. I During my Freshman and Sophomore year of highschool, I placed third in the U.S. Open for Judo and even managed to climb to 6th in the nation for a period of time. I also made it onto my highscool's Junior Varsity baseball team as a pitcher, and to top it all off I was playing division 1 club soccer where I competed in national tournaments with Weston Academy, Schultz Academy, and finally, the Davie Sharks. While playing for the Sharks, during my junior and senior year of highschool, the team and I went over to Germany to compete in tournaments during the summers when we had off time during the regular season.
Alongside the sports I played, I also competed in statewide music performance competitions for both violin and viola and placed first for concerto, solo, and string ensemble. I began taking violin lessons a little bit before Kindergarten, and when I reached the sixth grade I also started taking viola lessons alongside that. Music has always been an important part of my life, to the point where I still play to this day in my free time to blow off steam, or even just to jam with some friends.
I went to school at the University of Central Florida's Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy(FIEA) to receive my Master's in Interactive Entertainment as a project manager. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Florida. While I knew that I always wanted to develop games, I went to FIEA with the sole purpose of learning how to manage the development of video games. With the diverse background I have at my disposal, I have been fortunate enough to work in the video game and tech industry as a producer/project manager and successfully deliver on numerous projects. Nothing is more satisfying to me than watching a person enjoy a form of entertainment that a group of people poured their hearts into and I look forward to creating that same experience for people in the future.
