Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Please include any internships or jobs you had before your current role.
I started off when I went to school at Cal State Los Angeles. I had graduated with a Theater Arts degree and a minor in Creative Writing.
Then I decided to go back to school, even though I didn't have a specific position in mind. I ended up going back and doing an internship with the Walt Disney World company for the DCP in 2016.
That's when I found Full Sail University. I decided to attend Full Sail to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Game Design.
