Course: Introduction to Game Development (CTIN 483)I help students to learn Unity/C# for the first time. I assist with troubleshooting during class, and hold weekly office hours to assist with homework assignments.

Independently creating games on my own time; I try to participate in game jams at least once every month or two, and always have a project to work on in my spare time.

As a Resident Assistant (RA), I live in a residence hall with freshman students, and act as both a policy enforcer and a mentor/friend when residents need me to.

"MEGA" is the student game development club at USC. As President, I am responsible for ensuring that we put on great events that meet the needs of USC Games students. These events include everything from bringing in industry speakers to talk about relevant subjects with students to frequent game jams (including the Los Angeles site of the Global Game Jam!).

Each week during the summer, I would teach a group of 8 12-17 year olds how to program, either in C++ or Java. By the end of the 5-day week, each student would have an impressive, unique portfolio project to show off. Example projects include everything from basic GUI calculators to Minecraft mod generators.
