I’m the co-founder and producer of Sanctuary Game Studio, a studio creating opportunities for LGBTQ+ youth in Baltimore to earn money while developing and publishing games. I lead the studio’s production strategy, securing funding and partnerships, managing resources, and building the structure and timelines that turn our projects into real industry experiences.

I’m the Lead Game Development Instructor at Code in the Schools, where I lead advanced game development courses for high school and college-level students. I act as the lead producer across most of my classes, guiding teams through studio production while teaching game development concepts such as design, 2D/3D art, programming, and publication.

I taught Advanced Game Development at the University of Baltimore, providing a real-world studio experience where students developed and published a game for the Baltimore City Health Department. I led the project as its producer, coordinating the team and managing development, while also preparing students for the Unity Associate: Game Developer exam.
