Academic papers and articles from my time as an NYU student and post-undergrad intern, published and unpublished, across all subjects that I’ve taken so far.

Highlights

⭐📄Learn to Die (now part of S Rank)⭐


My first published paper! An exploration of death as didactic rather than entirely interrupting of the game flow, using Elden Ring as the main example/starting point.

Originally written during Professor Charles Pratt’s Intro to Game Studies class of Fall 2022, later revised.

⭐📄A Hot Set ⭐


Worked with A Hot Set as a Content Creator & Gaming Journalist intern for 6 months. Even though the website doesn’t seem to work anymore (Squarespace…), I still have all of my old articles saved on file. Here’s one published article for each category that I wrote for within the Digital & Media news categories:
