Game Design Anticipated Graduation Date: December 2020
About Me
I'm a Senior Game Design Major from Lake St. Louis, Missouri. I have always loved games of all kinds, and it is my dream to make them for a living. I play all kinds of games from different genres and different platforms. While I grew up primarily playing video games, I eventually got into board games, and am now the president of Bradley’s tabletop games club. Although Bradley has primarily prepared us to join the videogame industry, I am looking at job opportunities in the analog games world since I have interest in both sides.
In addition to Game Design, I am also double majoring in Religious Studies. I think that religion presents interesting ways to tell a story in games, so I’m staying at Bradley an extra semester to finish this second major. If I get a stable job and find myself with extra time I would like to pursue a graduate degree in religious studies, but I imagine that’s a long way off.
