As the Sound Designer for "Smite Rivals" I curated the project's required asset list based on written resources and art/animation, I custom-built each sound effect, and I created and executed the audio editing and post-production cycle. Working closely with engineers and producers, I worked directly with each build of the game using version control software in concert with the game engine to implement, test, and tweak each asset.

As an Assistant Teacher at the American International School of Utah (AISU), I have worked with the students, parents, and teachers since the grand opening of the school, cultivating a culture of independent thinking, responsibility, trust, and personal achievement. My focus was in science, mathematics, and music for grades 3, 4, and 5. As part of the Upper Elementary Team, I helped to plan and prototype Expeditionary Learning within the AISU blended model.

As an Associate Producer at Wyrd Games for nearly 2 years, I managed public relations and community outreach for three successful Kickstarter campaigns totaling more than $350K, and I coordinated a global network of hundreds of volunteers focused on the promotion and growth of best-selling miniatures game Malifaux. I optimized this network by developing and proposing a new, unanimously approved “Henchman” volunteer program, which resolved long-standing concerns of the volunteers and cut program costs by 85%. Prior to that, I also restructured the communications process with the volunteers to facilitate a deeper connection and support, while simultaneously eliminating the chance of discrepancies in tracking volunteer efforts.
