About Speaker

"Hey! I’m Genesis Espinal, I was born and raised in the Bronx, both my parents are immigrants from Dominican Republic, and my favorite color is green! I love tiramisu and cheese and I’ve got a steadily growing dice collection because I’m the type of person that likes to have dice sets for specific characters. If you love video games (particularly metroidvanias and roguelikes) great because I do too! Currently I’m majoring in Digital Design at City College, but I plan to apply for the Electronic Design & Multimedia BFA due to my interest in game design and animation. I’ve burdened myself with a large amount of writing classes this year, and even if I fear for wrists (what with carpal tunnel being a thing and all) I believe they’ll better my ability to communicate my ideas and develop more engaging narratives and characters. Some miscellaneous facts about me: -i’m a nerd that plays dnd (dungeons and dragons) -i really love the Legend of Zelda series (even if I’ve only played Breath of the Wild, the original NES game, Minish Cap and I’m for some reason too afraid to play Majora’s Mask) -on top of tiramisu and cheese, i’m also an avid fan of lasagna and bread -i have a slight fear that Toy Story is real so i’m polite to my stuffed animals and amiibos -bees are pretty neat"
