After a little over a year, I have officially taken a horizontal move and been brought on as a full time Rioter (previously contractor). A huge thank you to Roxy Florido and Adam Swanson for there guidance and trust in me throughout this past year! Last week I had the privilege of going through Riot's onboarding program 'Denewb'. I learned so much and cannot wait to keep growing with such talented folks around me! For now here are some new professional headshots because my old one was about 5 years old. GLHF :3

To my Engineer friends, our team is looking to expand! Feel free to reach out with any preliminary questions!

Today marks the release of my first major sound design project at Riot! I was fortunate enough to be tasked with sound designing the recall for Empyrean Malzahar in League of Legends, which released today! I would like to give a major shoutout and thank you to Michael Cheung and Tristan Medjo for teaching me so much and being so willing to help me throughout this entire process! Without them, this would have never been possible and I am so appreciative to have peers like them to show me the ropes and to push me with each round of feedback! Middle school me would've never believed that I created some beep boops that ended up in League of Legends. I am so grateful, not only for the opportunity to work on a project like this, but for the peers around me who made it happen and helped me along the way. Can't wait for the next one! #glhf #ggwp #sound #sounddesign #audio

Can you spot me? Had so much fun putting on an Audio Workshop for all the Riotlings!! So cool to see how excited everyone was about what their parents are doing every day!
