About me
I love creating engaging experiences and working in a team to create a high value product. I am hardworking, adaptable and eager to learn.
When working within a team, I am often described as a firefighter. I discover problems, make them known to the team, and make sure to correct them or get them fixed. I do what it takes to get the job done.
I am able to view the game with a players' mindset which makes me good at advocating for the player.
