In 2024, I earned a Ph.D. in English with a specialization in Media, Cinema, and Digital Studies from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. My research explores the intersections of videogames, digital culture, and networked technologies, with a focus on how digital games mirror the contrived contingencies of our increasingly connected world (and/or vice versa).
