General Interests:I love astronomy and am always outside with my telescopes looking at anything I can find. Anything with Astronomy, I’m always doing it. I enjoy cooking and many recipes I find I modify to fit what I like. I’m a computer geek and last year I rebuilt an old windows ME computer to play old games. I am an outdoor person and if I could choose between, cleaning the house or mowing the lawn, I’d be mowing the lawn. I’m also an avid movie collector.
I’m a large gamer, hence the rebuilding of an old computer. My first introduction to a computer was sitting for hours watching a screensaver of the crocodile chasing Captain Hook. Soon, my dad brought home Day of the Tentacle and I was hooked for life. I first played Kings Quest when I was 7 and it was the 7th one. Currently, while working on TSL, my sister and I are playing Lord of the Rings: Return of the King together and losing all the time.
I don’t have much time for anything else as I am a full time student at the local university where I live. My major is elementary education with an emphasis on science. I will graduate next year and hope to work in a place where good teacher are needed and hope to inspire students to achieve greatness.
Kings Quest:My first encounter with Kings Quest was when I was 7 and my parents played through if first to make sure it was safe for us to play. I later played the 5th one but it wasn’t until I was 11 when I finally was able to see the entire story of the beloved royal family. My sister received the entire collection for her birthday including Mask. We devoured them quickly but the 8th one took us YEARS. I finally finished it when I was 16 and was disappointed that it was so different. It never crossed my mind to look of a 9th one until a long time later.
I first found TSL back in 2008 in just a simple Google search. I didn’t join the forum until months later but didn’t post anything because I was too shy. TSL has really allowed me to open up and be myself around people who are scattered all over the world. It is a really cool feeling to say, “Yeah, I have a friend in such a place.” I also co-founded Save TSL along with Oberonqa, Cray, and Atec.
Fun/ Interesting Facts:I live in the Southwest but don’t speak any other languages than English. I still live at home with my parents and have a younger sister and two younger brothers. I don’t have many friends, beside those at work and you all here. I have two paying jobs to help with my tuition and then TSL. I have been told many times that I have no life, and I am okay with that.
I am a huge Sci-fi geek and watch a lot of British Television. I love animals, any kind of animal. I have currently two dogs, Annie and Shaggy, and 19 chickens; all with names and are my pets. I am a sports fanatic and played Basketball for three years before becoming too old to play with the other girls. The coach kept me on and helped to motivate them during games. Sunday is usually a dead day for me as I am vegging in front of the television with my dad watching football. He gets to pick the games we watch, he knows the good match ups. I’m a Jet’s fan and always have to correct how the announcers say his name, because they do pronounce it incorrectly. I use to watch the Cardinals but since Warner is gone, I have moved on.
I never thought I would be working on King’s Quest game, and this has been a dream come true and am truly honored to work on such a large project. I have gained so much experience over these past few months and have learned so much about how a game is made. When I sit down at any game now, I have a new appreciation to the work they do. The team has brought a new determination out in me and has encouraged me when I had to do something I never did before. Currently I am doing PR and HR work for TSL as well as beta testing.
Forgot to show you some pictures of me
