What projects that you’ve worked on have you particularly enjoyed?
Team projects in the Game Studio and production are my favorites. It's so valuable to work in a team and find out what the dynamic is and where you fit in. Then at the end of the project, you have a game that you helped to make - that's a really cool feeling. I still remember how I felt after I made my first game. It's amazing!
Have you worked on campus in either a part-time or work-study position?
I am a Programmer at the Emergent Media Center. It's been an incredible experience. Working with students outside of my regular courses, learning how a professional environment operates, and working with projects applicable to my professional development has been so fulfilling and a great learning experience.
What do you recommend when exploring Burlington?
My personal favorite treasure in Burlington is a hidden gem called the Crystal Cottage of Vermont. It's a short walk down College Street. I went there multiple times a week during the semester to de-stress and find cool things. A trip there, then dinner at the Skinny Pancake, then sitting at the docks, and my night was made!
