My name is Nicolas Giampaglia and I graduated from Marist College (May 2023) with a Bachelors of Science studying Games and Emerging Media with a concentration in Design, Writing, and Culture and a minor in Interactive Media. And in October 2023 I completed a UX/UI Design certification course. 

           I grew up in Norwood, New Jersey, playing videogames throughout my childhood and young-adulthood. Some of my favorite games include Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Dishonored, MLB the Show, Jedi Fallen Order, and the Pokémon franchise. Sports have also been an integral part of my life. I've played Basketball and Baseball ever since I could remember, while playing American Football on occasion. I also served as a volunteer Flag Football coach for a couple years. Lastly, movies and television shows have definitely have had a heavy impact on me with some of my favorites being: Naruto, Peaky Blinders, The Godfather, the Spiderman movies, and The Mask.

           I have also traveled all throughout The United States including but not limited to: Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, California, and Illinois. I have also taken trips out of the country as well, visiting some of the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and my personal favorite being Italy.
