More About Me

Here's more about how I ended up in my current major and my life trajectories. I started as a Biochemistry student during my first semester at Old Dominion University. However, I quickly realized that my passions were elsewhere. I discovered that I could study game design and decided to pursue it, as gaming had been a hobby of mine for years. I initially chose to pursue a minor in communication as I thought it would work well with my major, but that quickly changed after taking my first communications-based course. I fell in love with the concepts I was learning in communications. Everything was modern and about what was happening now, rather than studying history or memorizing formulas. I decided to look into options for a double major and declared a double major in Media Studies and Game Design. I am earning a Bachelor of Science in both majors, having more focus on the technicalities and critical analysis of the work I do. Both majors work well together and help me build upon the knowledge I learn in my courses. ​​​​
​
I am taking higher-level courses for both majors, creating projects for my resume and job applications. I have an internship focusing on marketing and social media management for a local business in Virginia Beach. The skills I learn there will give me more experience when applying for jobs after graduation. After graduation, I plan to seek careers that align with my passions. Ideally, I would love to work for a game company such as Atlus or Riot, either helping with the development of games or doing marketing, data analytics, media management, and more for a company. Additionally, I have been developing my game concept for the last few years, something I hope to be able to produce as a selling game, whether it be through a company or an indie publication.​​
