"The 人文学科 department is often described as eclectic due to the diversity in research interests among faculty. Studying with different professors helped build a wide skillset and familiarity with different tools and research methods. I am prepared as a scholar-practitioner, and well-equipped to enter academe or design and research. I recently accepted a Professional Lecturer position in the School of Design in the 大学 of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University and am teaching game design and games studies."
