About Me

I am a GIMM (Games, Interactive Media, and Mobile Technology) Major at Boise State University. The GIMM Major has exposed me to a wide variety of technologies from graphic design and web development to virtual/augmented reality and network architeture. My focus within the Major has been development and more specifically replicating real experiences into virtual reality experiences.

While being in school I have also gained experience providing Desktop and Web/Wordpress support for Boise State University's Office of Information Technology and Communication and Marketing Department. Here I gained valuable experience providing in-person and email technical support, WordPress trainings, adapting web content to meet accessibility standards, and search engine optimization.

In my last year at Boise State I have worked for the Department of Geoscience as a Web/Systems Admin where I designed and built the Department of Geoscience WordPress website, livestreamed research seminars to the department website, and provided general IT and desktop support. Here I have been able to develop my project and time management skills as I am often working on a variety of ongoing projects.
