Student, Designer, Leader
I’m Amanda Sharkey, a game design student at the University of Southern California. I grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona where I graduated from Chaparral High School in May 2020.
I attended USC Summer 2018 and Ringling College of Art and Design PreCollege 2019 where I honed my game design and creative writing abilities. In my higher education, I am continuing to strengthen those skills while specializing in producing.
My previous job experience includes working part time as a Code Sensei at Code Ninjas Scottsdale where I taught kids the basics of programming through game development. I continued to mentor junior gamers in the summer of 2021 as a GirlsMakeGames Summer Fellow.
