Summary
I am a huge gamer, video games have been in my life for as long as I remember. They have played a huge part in who I am today, and what I want to become. Im incredibly excited to become part of a development team for a game company I love, and follow deeply. To be able to be part of a team that works on my favorite game titles would be an honor. I love telling stories, and engaging with an audience and video games do that the best. Video games bring people together, they make people more competitive, and they create communities. to be part of a community and family like this company's, would be a huge honor. to be able to say, "I work for one of the greats..."
