Emotion is universal.

The human connection.

Great leaders are great listeners.

Out-of-the-box thinking doesn’t scare me!

Organized multi-tasking hasn’t failed me yet!

My quest for self-growth will never end.

Square Enix and I agree on that.

I, like them, want to provide unforgettable experiences.

Rising to that goal will be an arduous journey…

…But I will finish it!
