About Me

I am a game producer with a background in game development and a passion for supporting creative teams through organization, communication, and adaptability.

During the development of Revenant: Through The Veil with Excavator Studios, I started out as a technical designer but quickly discovered my passion for managing teams. I transitioned into a producer role, leading sprints, coordinating tasks, and ensuring clear communication across a multidisciplinary team. I played a key role in guiding our team from prototype to release, focusing on creating structure, managing timelines, and resolving roadblocks.

Through this experience, I learned how essential it is to set realistic goals, adapt when challenges arise, and foster an environment where every team member can thrive. Game development is tough, but with empathy, structure, and clear direction, I've seen firsthand how teams can stay motivated and focused--even when things don't go according to plan.

Outside of Revenant, I've contributed to multiple Unity-based student games in roles ranging from UI programmer to GitHub manager, always stepping up where needed to support the team. These experiences have sharpened my technical skills and deepened my appreciation for flexible, supportive production.

I'm now looking to grow as a producer in a new team environment, where I can continue to help bring great games to life and support teams in doing their best work.
