Me At a Glance

Everyone starts somewhere…I started out in a small Colorado mountain town, bounced to Arkansas, then to Kansas City, then to Seattle, then to Los Angeles, and now I’m back in Seattle and relishing the sweet sweet rain.

In the latest decade of adventuring around the US, I have been pursuing a career as a producer in the gaming industry. I’ve worked in both mobile and AAA with some of the biggest publishers, and on some of the largest franchises.

Right now, I’m a Senior Producer at Turtle Rock Studios (famous for Left 4 Dead, Evolve, and Back 4 Blood) - working on a new and unnanounced title.

Up here in the PNW, I live quietly. Immersed in nature, my work, and hobbies with the support of my wonderful partner and two adorable fluffy cats named Mason and Morri.

A Deeper Look

Enamored with the entertainment industry from a young age, I had always dreamt of turning my small-town life into a bustling West Coast existence.

I began playing video games when I was about 4 years old, and just really never stopped. My PC is still my end-of-day haven, and arcades are where I made my best memories. Initially I sought music and writing as possible career paths - and then my highschool Gifted Studies teacher nudged me in the STEM direction. Following in my father’s footsteps, I started learning basic computer science – starting out in Java.

I had grown up with computers, but it was only here where I began to understand how they did the things they could do. My interest grew and I decided to see what opportunities I could find in the gaming industry. My Dad mentioned DigiPen, and after a bout of research, I applied. Once accepted, I packed my bags and moved from Kansas to Washington. With the support of my parents, brother, professors, friends, two cats (Nyxi and Tornado), and a beefy pupperino (Stella), I graduated from DigiPen in May 2017 as one of two women in the BSCS RTIS (Real-Time Interactive Simulation) program.

Shortly after, I moved to LA and began working on Call of Duty Black Ops. After a tenure there of about 5 years, I jumped over to EA and worked on Battlefield Mobile. My time there was brought to an end by an unexpected layoff, and I then landed at Turtle Rock Studios - where I still am today. My total experience as a developer in the industry is now just over 8 years, and my overall time working in and around the industry now comes to just shy of 12 years. I’ve learned lots of things along the way in life, have worked with many people, and have launched some exciting projects.
