MY EXPERIENCE
Background & Expertise
STUDENT, PATRICK HENRY HIGH SCHOOL
September 2014 - June 2018
I attended Patrick Henry High School in the Allied Gardens area of San Diego, California. I took Advanced Placement courses that focused on History and Literature. I also took courses in Art and Theater and did four years of NJROTC.
EAGLE SCOUT
September 2018-Eternity
I acheived the rank of Eagle Scout after completing my Eagle Project at Rady's Children's Hospital. My project was to renovate the toy room in the basement of the Rady's Children's Hospital, cleaning the extremely cluttered room and sorting donations in a manner that made it easier for its caretakers to access them. My role was to acquire the materials we would need, plan the project itself and manage the kids and adults who served under me. The project was a success and we wnjoyed pizza afterwards as a group.
UCSD
June 2018-Now
I have been working as an intern for UCSD's Research on Autism and Development Lab(RADLab). I work on developing art and storyboards for a research focused video game. The game, Need Space, is played using a two-person eyetracker. It is science fiction themed, as you fly about asteroid fields, space debris, inside space stations of the Dreadlord Joe, the main antagonist of the game. Narritive is vital to game design, adding a lot to the experience a game provides. Narrative helps shape the tone of the game, influencing the games visuals and how the game is supposed to make the player feel. Need Space is supposed to be a comedic romp through the stars, calling back to the science fiction pulps of the early 1900's.
