Well, I recently passed the CAPM test. I am now a Certified Associate in Project Management. This is a big step for me. I’ve been studying the PMBOK for the past few months and that has finally paid off! I think my next steps will be to save up to get Scrum certified. In my current job, Agile project management is not used much, but I am aware that Agile is used throughout the video game industry. I know the theory behind Agile from my master’s degree, but would like to learn more and get certified as a Scrum Master.

I have been working on writing a novel. I’m looking forward to finishing the first draft, just to see how the story evolved from my first idea.It’s a pet project of mine which I haven’t had too much time for it due to work and studying for the CAPM. Well, here’s to hoping that I get back on it and can finish the first draft before the end of the year. I think that is a worthy goal.

Let’s see, I will be attending GDC at the end of this month. It was exciting to put in the order for business cards and get to include CAPM after my name! I’m looking forward to GDC. It will be my first time attending and I can’t wait to see what opportunities are out there. Also, it will be a chance to reconnect with some former classmates from Full Sail University. I haven’t seen them since I left Florida after graduation.

Well, here’s to hoping that 2013 brings new opportunities and accomplished goals!
