"If someone told me 3 years ago when I started my professional career that I’d be working in the video game industry, I would have never believed them. 

I started at Microsoft working with an HR team, then an engineering team, and now I work at the Initiative. Working in gaming has been a huge culture shock in the best possible way—my day-to-day never looks the same, the fast-paced nature constantly keeps me on my toes, and my team consists of talented and creative artists and industry professionals who inspire me every day."
