As someone who is very invested in gaming and the art behind it, I have obtained my associate's in Gaming and Simulations to learn about development and design. Currently, I'm on the road to achieving my bachelor's in computer science. I have joined the animation, tabletop, and game development clubs during my scholarly life. These clubs have allowed me to meet others with similar interests and make meaningful connections. Outside of school, I attend game development activities like game jams or interact within similar communities.
 Gaming is a way for me to bond with others with similar interests, and I wanted to replicate the experiences I've had for others. I invested a lot of time studying, interacting, and asking questions to grasp a better understanding of what makes the social aspect of gaming so enjoyable. In my free time, I learn more about different software and game development techniques. Additionally, I do pixel art commissions that help sharpen my skills, allowing me to create visual assets for my projects. The use of social media and my skills encourage me to not only connect to other clients but broaden my connections.
 My non-coding interests include photography, music, and socializing. I'm community-driven and love art profoundly. I like to see what goes on around me by exploring musical events and art shows. Interacting with my surroundings and meeting new people with interests similar to mine is a great feeling and I believe ties to my views on not only my social life but work life as well.
