Tis I, a PhD student in computer science, under the supervision of Dr.Regan Mandryk. I hail from the much colder and flatter, Saskatoon Saskatchewan, where I did my undergrad in Interactive Systems Design(fancy way of saying Comp Sci, Psychology and Art) and my masters under the supervision of Dr.Regan Mandryk and Dr.Cody Phillips. My research focuses on video game mechanics and player experience.

When I am not sciencing the world, I am usually playing video games (who would have guessed??), with my favourites being long RPGs such as Fallout, Mass Effect and Persona. I also love tabletop RPGs and board games. My other passion is making up nonsense on the spot, so I am often found performing live improv. Otherwise I’ll probably be practicing drums or getting lost in a national park somewhere.
