PRESIDENT | Samantha Macaraniag

Hey everyone, I'm Sam! Growing up, I played a lot of video games with my siblings, which is why I've always been interested in making my own!
Video games combined all of my passions for art, music, and story writing. Coming into college, I knew I wanted to pursue programming so I can finally
make my own games! With my presidency, I hope to bring the beauty of game development to all kinds of people.

SECRETARY | Laurence Timothy Garcia

Hey everyone! I am Laurence Garcia, this year's secretary. I started my game development journey last year during my freshman year
of college and enjoyed it so much. I'm someone who has a variety of hobbies including 3d modeling, gaming, video creation,
and programming. Video game development was the perfect outlet for me to express all of those hobbies in one place.
After working on one game during the fall semester, I decided to lead my own game, and even participate in a game jam over the summer.
I look forward to bringing the world of game development to more aspiring developers this upcoming year.
Year and Major: 2nd Year, Computer Science

PR DIRECTOR | Janista Gitbumrungsin

Hello! My name is Janista and I am hoping to go into game development after graduation. My favorite subjects tend to be mathematics or sciences
and so I really enjoy coding! At the same time, I also really enjoy creative hobbies but drawing is the one that’s stuck with me the longest.
When it comes to video games, RPGs and life simulators are the ones I tend to play the most, but I love all sorts of genres.

WEBMASTER | Jonah Moktarzadeh

What started off as a pursuit for an engineering degree had become four years, and counting, to acquire my bachelors degree in computer science.
I have contributed game pitches in the past to acquire experience in learning a new programming language, 3D modeling, wire framing, and sprite art.
As your webmaster, I expect a lot of adversity, but I also expect coming out of this with the necessary skills to contribute more passionately to future game pitches.
