I worked with a fully remote team to deliver robust and modular solutions to the design team to better enable their creativity. Some specific pieces I worked on were the early iterations of the Character Creation System as well as a Modular Attachement System for Weapons and Vehicles. In addition to this I created tools in Unity that would enable Level Designers to create large numbers of Modular Vehicles and Weapons. This process involved a lot of collaboration with the animation and hard surface teams to insure the system I was implemented worked efficiently with the assets they were creating.

I am a scrum master for a new class on campus that is working on an unannounced project. I facilitate and enforce the agile process for students in the class. I also provide design and development support when needed and run the source control (sourcetree/git) for the project. In addition to these responsibilities I also help out students in the open unity labs held multiple days a week where students come in and get help with c#, perforce, and unity/unreal.

As a Technical Designer I was responsible for implementing interactive assets and lesson content using a host of proprietary tools, Unreal Engine 4, and Naval Documentation. I worked with a team of Instructional Designers, Web Developers, Engineers, and Subject Matter Experts to deliver over 200 hours of AAA quality instructional content to the Navy over the course of my time at Cubic Global Defense in Orlando.

* My responsibilities included: * Creating and presenting sales reports. * Conducting market research on competitors. * Assisting clients. * Working with the sales and marketing team on various tasks.

My education was multi disciplinary in that I studied programming (computer science minor), Chinese, and international studies/globalism. My international studies focused in globalization and international business. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to study abroad in Beijing, China as well as Rabat, Morocco. During spring break 2014 I was able to participate in the Greenpeace student education program. While studying at BGSU I interned at Hartzell Air Movement, summer of 2014, in the sales and marketing department. I was pleased with my experience at BGSU and left with a wealth of knowledge in a broad range of disciplines. Activities and Societies: BGSU Club Dodgeball BGSU Environmental Action Group
