One of my mentees, Chloe Evans, got an AI Engineering internship at Infinity Ward for the upcoming summer! =3 It's an incredibly rare opportunity and she totally deserves it. I'm very proud of her. I can't wait to see what cool game AI tech she gets to work on and continue to see her career grow.

Very much so. She's been working really hard applying to different opportunities so I'm very happy that this one worked out for her! =D I really think this program will help further develop her game dev skills so I'm excited to see her career grow even more.

One of my mentees, Chloe Evans, got into the MapleStory Worlds Creators program! I'm super duper excited for her to have fun making new friends and creating an awesome game with Nexon game dev folks and fellow peers guidance and to see her career grow even more! =D
