I am an adaptable and highly motivated games writer with a diverse skillset, and professional experience across a range of genres, including mobile games, RPGs, and branching narratives. I am a native English speaker, with a strong grasp on character development; I believe that strong characters are the backbone of any compelling narrative, and it is important to me to write characters with relatable motivations, and distinctive, consistent voices. I have formally studied English literature which has afforded me a thorough understanding of what a story needs to function, so I am able to look over a project and quickly identify the necessary steps to create a satisfying narrative.
