Bachelor of Arts - Multidisciplinary Studies
In this Interdisciplinary program, I studied English and Asian Studies in a way that considered the way that these disciplines interact, cross, and rely on one another. My studies were optimized for a career in video game research, production, and localization. My capstone presentation dived into machine translation and its capabilities when applied to literary translation (books, graphic novels, games, and other media) and was written from a primarily localization-focused lens. While at UNLV, I studied under Dr. Amy Green whose studies in narrative analysis were highly impactful on my approach to game design.
