Haai! I'm Sherri, a 3rd year Computational and Systems Biology major. I mostly work on programming in game dev but very occasionally dabble in art. I've done some 3D animation and a bit of pixel art lately. Some of my favorite games include Minecraft, Helldivers 2, and Zenless Zone Zero. In my free time, I like to go rock climbing and make cool origami pieces.
