I was born in Clarksville, Tn on November 29, 1989. I fell in love with gaming at just three years old starting with Super Mario World on SNES. Over the years my passion grew from just wanting to play games to wanting to learn how to make them. It wasn't an easy road. In the process, I got married and had six beautiful kids. I was deterred many times even after I made it to FullSail. I found that coding didn't come naturally to me. But I didn't give up and I continued to learn and study. I worked over ten years in customer service which has taught me that everyone no matter what their personality is or their background has common ground somewhere. I have also homeschooled my children which keeps me creative and patient. I believe that you find your true passions when you are tested and keep pushing forward. I also believe that we should never stop growing and learning whether it is in our personal or professional lives.
