Aspiring Game Artist & IT Professional with a Passion for Growth and Innovation

Hello!

I’m Kayla Brooks, a recent graduate with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Jackson State University, class of December 2022. I began my career journey as an IT Support Analyst intern at Hollywood Casino Aurora with PENN Entertainment. This role was an invaluable experience, providing me with hands-on knowledge in End-User Support, Networking, and Infrastructure. I also gained skills in Project Management, where I contributed effective solutions that surpassed IT department goals and strengthened my problem-solving abilities.

In addition to my technical background, I am actively exploring the creative side of technology. I am currently volunteering with [P1] Virtual Civilization Interactive to immerse myself in the Game Development process and to build a portfolio as a Game Artist. This experience has allowed me to connect with talented artists worldwide and develop a skillset in Graphic Design. I am enthusiastic about discovering my niche within the art field and would greatly appreciate any guidance or mentorship from industry professionals!

I’m excited to connect with others who share my passion for tech and art, and I’m eager to discuss potential opportunities to grow as a technical professional while contributing to an organization’s success. Thank you for your time and consideration!
