Integrated Strategic Communications senior at WSU's Murrow College.
My portfolio, projects, and how to reach me.
I'm a senior at Washington State University's Murrow College, finishing a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Strategic Communications. I'm looking for communications, PR, and marketing roles where I can put those skills to work.
Outside of class, I run InTheAtticDev, an independent creative brand I built from scratch. I write and edit fiction, publish a newsletter magazine, compose music, and program interactive projects including browser games and my own website. I plan the content, research what audiences respond to, and ship the work publicly.
My novels and novellas are in progress now, with ebook and paperback releases planned.

Communications and PR work. Each piece has a note on the assignment and what I set out to do, with the finished documents to view or download.
Cosmic Collector is an ambient 2D arcade game that tests your mastery of orbital physics. Navigate through progressively complex star systems, using the pull of gravity to collect valuable stardust while avoiding hazardous debris.
Entry to the GMTK Game Jam 2025! Theme: Loop
Note: The web version playable on this page is a demo and doesn't represent the full experience with all features. To save your score, use powerups, and play the secret level, please download the full version below.
See the continuation of the Chrono-Wing story!
The year is 2949. It has been four years since Earth repelled the Xylosian Swarm, a bio-mechanical race of aliens from a distant star system. In the aftermath of the war, a new political faction has risen on the Xylosian homeworld. This new faction seeks a future beyond galactic conquest and offers to make a ceasefire with Earth. To honor this fragile turning point, the Solar Federation sends its most decorated pilot, the very one who destroyed the Xylosian mothership while caught in a time vortex, to represent humanity on a mission of diplomacy.
Your journey begins in Earth’s orbit, tracing a path outward through gravitational corridors and alien systems. Can you broker peace between this fragile alliance, or will figures lurking in the shadows work to undo everything?
Play Chrono-Wing here on site! The story starts earlier still, in the prequel short story Attack of the Interstellar Thing!, where the Swarm is first sighted.

Special thanks to my parents for playtesting! Secret level idea by my dad :)
Story inspired by the writings of Neil Peart. All the love forever to The Professor <3
This game was developed in less than four days for the GMTK Game Jam 2025, the theme was "Loop." Previously made code was used, as Cosmic Collector used to be a work in progress game, with the only real feature being the orbital physics. This theme inspired me to iron out the concept and turn it into a full game, refactoring a vast majority of what was there into what is here now. I am thankful that this jam allowed me an opportunity to get this game out and put it in my catalog.
This game was developed using Python, and while that makes browser support tricky, I still wanted to provide a web demo so you can preview the experience without downloading.
That said, the downloadable version is the full game experience as intended-- with smoother performance (60fps), better visuals, and important features like powerups and a progression system. The web version is just a lightweight demo. For the complete experience, with the secret level included, please download the full version. Thanks for checking it out-- I hope you enjoy!
