Hi! I'm a graduate student in computer science and I've always loved the interactive side to visual novels. I currently conduct research in HCI (Human Computer Interactions) at UTD and you can find me in the lab on most days! My passion for both anime and interactive computation led me to explore visual novels and I've adored them since a young age. I hope to become a professor and would love to teach and spread my passions.

I'm a computer science graduate student at UTD. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Cybersecurity. I've been interested in anime since I was in grade school and have continued with my passion since. I played my first visual novel in high school and decided to learn how to create them on my own. It's become one of my favorite pastimes and I hope to share that with everyone.
