Hi, I'm Tracy. I'm currently working on my diploma in Game Art and Design from Centennial College. For my undergraduate degree, I studied economic development and philosophy at the University of Toronto.
I have over four years of experience as an academic writing instructor where I designed and taught several writing and instructor training courses, and I have interned for an NGO pilot program in Kisumu, Kenya. I gradually began to realize my passion for video games, which propelled my career pivot into the entertainment industry.
In my spare time, I am highly passionate about drawing and painting, volunteering at the animal shelter, taking care of my rabbits, reading, and playing the guitar.
