Why Digital Media?
Video games offer a powerful platform for sharing experiences and knowledge with their audiences. My passion for digital media stems from a lifelong engagement with video games, which served not only as entertainment but also as a valuable learning tool throughout my childhood and adolescence. As someone aspiring to teach at a higher level, I aim to leverage my expertise in games to craft engaging narratives and impart life skills to others.
