Bio

My name is Phoenix Ross and my dream is to be apart of the video game industry. My goal is to become a video game programmer by the time I earn my Bachelor's I've loved video games all my life and one thing I've dreamt of since the first time I put my hands on a controller was being apart of the making of such a lucrative art form. I also took up a side hobby of making music from my older brother. My favorite genre of music to make is rock, synth, and lo-fi. I feel I am a great candidate for my career as I genuinely want to make an impact with positive games that people will remember as a moving piece of art for life. Despite living with Type 2 Diabetes, I'm able to press forward because of these goals I've set for myself. I also see all the problems in the world and ask, "What can I do to help?" and one thing I can always think of is helping with art. Art is able change the hearts of people, one person at a time.
