Major: Digital Media
Current year: Sophomore
Why Digital Media? I enjoy doing art on the computer and the look and feel of independently developed video games. Every time I play a new game, I think about how I would love to program something like that on my own, and how I would do it with my own limitations. Through Digital Media, I hope to broaden my limitations to be even less than the games I play.
Why Drexel? Drexel is cheaper than other alternatives (after scholarship of course) and the Digital Media program here is one of the few that has proven itself since it has been around much longer than similar programs at other schools. And being from Norristown made Philadelphia a great city to go to college as it is not too far, nor right in the neighborhood.

Quick Bio: I like a wide variety of things relating to music and movies and others. I'm usually quite picky about food I eat, but have made vast improvements over the past year - trying dishes from Vietnamese to New Orleans Cajun. I like anything and anyone that can make me laugh, which is not easy to do, because I consider my own odd brand of humor to be hilarious while many others disagree. I'm usually easy-going and personable, except while lacking adequate hours of sleep. I love art, I love playing around on the computer, and Digital Media just seems like the perfect fit.
