Mentor

Growing up as the eldest of four brothers, I learned early on how to support and guide those around me.

Living with ADHD and a chronic illness has taught me resilience and patience, helping me understand the unique challenges that neurodiverse individuals face.

I spent over a decade as a Producer in the video game industry, working on a range of AAA titles and leading teams through high-pressure environments.

With certifications in video game production I bring deep knowledge of game development processes, and structured problem-solving. My experience taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, create clarity out of complexity, and help others succeed.

I pride myself on clear and empathetic communication. Whether breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps or offering a calm, reassuring presence during challenging moments.

Beyond mentoring, I’m highly passionate about gaming. From competitive fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter to Epic fantasy adventures such as Dark Souls and The Legend of Zelda to sandbox creative titles such as Minecraft, Grounded, and No Man’s Sky.

I’m also an avid NBA follower (loyal Brooklyn Nets fan!), a huge anime fan, a fantasy novel reader and an aspiring indie game developer in my spare time.

My goal as a mentor is to offer young people a safe, supportive space where they feel heard and understood. I aim to share strategies for managing challenges, bring calm and structure where needed, and, for those interested in games development, potentially inspire the next generation of developers.
