Education:

University of Montana - BA (Hons) Russian/German
Brunel University, London - MA with Merit  Digital Games Design and Theory

My masters dissertation was looking into the ways in which digital games can support language learning for students. This research experience attempted to find a method that was neither edutainment nor serious games, while borrowing principles learned from research in both.  This was the culmination of all my experiences working around the world, in conjunction with my passion for languages and game design.
