My experience throughout High School is a bit of a boring experience. I'm not the most social person so I didn't actively make a lot of friends nor did I talk a whole lot, so I mostly just kept to myself for most of my time in High School. I did do a couple of interesting things such as volunteering for the Lunch Program in order to provide food for students who couldn't afford a Lunch, as well as attending an afterschool Band and a Robotics Club. Aside from all of that, I was mostly just discovering more about myself and what I wanted to do post-secondary. It was a bit of a struggle figuring out what I wanted to do, but I eventually came to the conclusion that I wanted to work in the Game Industry. I grew up playing games, and I always loved playing games. So I decided that I wanted to make Video Games. I took a lot of Media and Visual Art classes during my senior years of High School, learning more about animation, drawing, film/photography, etc. And although I wasn't the greatest artist, I still had a lot of fun, which further fueled my drive. Unbeknownst to me and the entire world however, a Pandemic was on the rise.

My gap year was coming to an end and I began applying to many different colleges. My original intent was a Game Design/Development program, but many of the colleges that had these programs were inaccessible for me due to transit reasons. So I chose the next best thing: Graphic Design at Mohawk College. Mohawk College was the closest college to me, and the Graphic Design program Mohawk offered had a UX/UI stream in the 2nd year. I figured that since UX/UI is present in Video Games (In-game menus, immersive user interface, etc), this program was the next best thing. I'm currently in the last year of the program, going strong!
