I sunk who knows how many weekends into videogames growing up in Northwest Oregon. Now, I write and play them.

Okay, so, this is the version of ‘About Me’ that is a bit less formal. My goal is providing your studio or team with compelling writing involving layered characters, immersive details, and a player-first mindset. While I work alone well, I love collaborating to achieve outstanding results.

My passion is in developing high-fidelity, single player titles, ranging from science fiction and fantasy FPSs, RPGs, and branching narratives. However, you can see my range of contributions is also in pixel art sci-fi, fairy tale fantasy, and RPGs. Additionally, you will see smaller bits like item descriptions and multiplayer callouts in my portfolio.

A few of my favorite videogames like these are Marvel's Spiderman, Uncharted 4, Skyrim, Life is Strange, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Walking Dead, and Halo 3. Aloy learning how her birth is connected to the reborn, post-apocalyptic world around her was really cool to see unfold. A nameless player-character waking up in a certain carriage later gets saved by a dragon once thought disappeared. Brothers bantering with each other while chasing pirate treasure before their nemesis does. Or, splattering Flood Infection forms with a speeding Warthog to the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn before the Halo ring detonates - those moments capture the reason I wanted to write videogames.

But wait - that’s not all! My competitive personality lends itself to multiplayer, specifically shooters. Those top choices are Battlefield, sometimes PubG, sometimes others like Call of Duty and Apex Legends, but mostly Halo. Having the opportunity to stuff like voice-acting or writing on a multiplayer game would kick butt.

On the flipside, since 2015, I have written a few short stories and a novel. I am deep into writing my first novel, a military science fiction/space opera currently called Project Ellexis. Between fine-tuning space fights, to my main character overcoming obstacles with her older brother, it is in developmental editing. Additionally, I have a few by-lines of videogame journalism with Love Thy Nerd.
