Creativity is my middle name, as I enjoy creative ideas and executing those ideas. It all started off with art and music, where I would make various pieces so I could express certain emotions. I then found the magical world of games and computers, which made me become the game developer I am today. Making games is the perfect mix between my creative side and my technical side, but not only that, but games have helped me a lot in life.

As I grew more knowledge of how to make games, it sparked something in me to help my friends and to teach them game development. I’ve been told by my friends that they feel comfortable around me, chill, understanding, patient, and good at explaining things, and I want to provide that same vibe to my mentees. Everyone has potential infollowing their dreams, and I want my mentees to see the multitude of opportunities and potential that their lives can provide them with, so they can become the best people they can possibly ever be as I support them to achieve the best.

As for qualifications, I have a Level 3 national extended diploma in IT, and I am fully DBS checked and have up-to-date date safeguarding, SEN (including autism, ADHD and PDA), mental health, and online safety training.

My love for games sparked when I played the infamous Sonic 06 on the Xbox 360. I was so obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, I wanted my friends to call me Sonic instead of my real name when I was younger, and I also ran with my hands behind my back. Ever since then, my love for games grew as I exposed myself to a world of wonderful games such as Kirby, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Minecraft, Indie games such as Undertale, Terraria, and The Binding of Isaac (all of my favourite games). I mostly prefer retro games as I enjoy the creativity those games express. Being a part of a mystical adventure, interacting and exploring wonderful worlds, and meeting interesting characters are all things that excite me about games and I will never get tired of that.
