Before pursing game design full-time, I was an enterprise journalist. I focused on long-form, business, sports, and crime. My work was published in:
The New York Times
Salon
Kotaku
The Tampa Bay Times
College Longreads
The Indiana Daily Student
I won several awards for writing and reporting and covered a number of beats in internships and full-time work.
I've created games in Twine, Adventure Game Studio, ChoiceScript, and Inform. Here are a few samples:
Think for Her
"God help England if She had no Scots to Think for Her."
I created this game as a prompt for the Telltale Creative Workshop. And I got in! This is the latest version, after working with Telltale writers to rework some of the choices and dialogue.

Royal Menagerie: A resources-management and gift-giving game about deception.
