Castle Park

I have been working at Castle Park for about a year, initially starting as a scare actor. During the 2023 season, I participated in multiple slider shows and was cast as one of the sliders for Castle Park's Mardi Gras celebration show. My proficiency in CAD software led to my hiring on the production team as a maze designer. Subsequently, I was promoted to Creative Designer, where I contributed to various creative projects. Additionally, I was part of the Castle Dark panel at Midsummer Scream, the world's largest Halloween convention, in 2024.

I graduated from Riverside STEM High School in 2023, which was ranked as the number one high school in California and among the top 10 in the USA. Throughout my high school career, I consistently achieved high honors, maintaining a GPA of 3.8 each year. My dedication to academic excellence earned me the prestigious Scholar’s Diploma for my in-depth research on the different types of malware.
