Soft Skills

Extroverted - I love to interact, socialize, and collaborate with others both for work and for fun. The best work is the one you can succeed in with others.

  • Necessary for an cohesive team environment at Starnova Studios and collaboration at Starfury Studios and SpeedSilver LTD.
  • While in school, I'm well-known for being someone sociable and with deep school spirit. I was elected President of our Student Council and regularly had to speak with people to create school events.

Exploratory - I like to see unique perspectives. I believe everyone has something they can teach others and I love to hear what those ideas are. Can't build without hearing about new things!

  • This mindset on listening to new ideas propelled our first gamemode launch at Starnova Studios it was one of our team members who came up with the idea for it!
  • While in school, I love to hear what everyone has to offer and it's one of the biggest reasons our Robotics team did well. We earned a silver medal in competition simply by hearing the ideas of everyone, freshman or senior alike.
