I've always had a strong passion for creating new and interesting things in art. Ever since I was young I'd constantly draw and create my own characters within imaginary worlds. My other passion throughout my life has been videogames and when the time came to choose a career path I decided to merge my two greatest hobbies into one and attend the Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg for a degree in Game Art & Design.

I am currently two quarters away from graduation. My main goals are to finish school and jump right into work to start using my abilities in this competitive and exciting field of entertainment. I am eager to make a name for myself and become a valuable asset to any and every company/employer I get a chance to work for.

About Me

I'm a very hardworking and determined individual. I will actually become the first member of my family to graduate from college with a degree. I also enjoy being humorous and conversing with new and interesting people. With my current work experience I've had the opportunity to be part of a small team as well as a large one and know what it takes to help a group succeed. One of the biggest things I’ve learned from these experiences is that in order to work well with a team is having a great level of communication is absolutely necessary in order to accomplish a team’s goals.

Outside of school and work I enjoy reading quiet a bit. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery novels. I also love to work out. At the beginning of 2006 I decided to start working on and dieting. Since then I've lost over fifty pounds on my own personal diet plan which includes working out seven days a week. I have a strong determination and desire to succeed so I’m always working on personal projects outside of the classroom to improve.
