Kylie Loiacono is a soon-to-be Millersville University graduate. While at Millersville, she has been pursuing a bachelor's degree with a major in English - Writing Studies and a minor in History. She has also interned as the Project Manager for Authors for the Engage for Change Journal and Made in Millersville Journal, in which she oversaw/outlined the entire editing and publishing process and maintained effective communication between the authors and the Journals. In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, playing video games, and making art. Her love for video games was what led her to create this project and focus on one of the first “choices have consequences in the story” games she ever played (Heavy Rain). Upon graduation, Kylie hopes to pursue a career in the editing and publishing industry, as well as publish her own novels.

Kylie would like to thank her faculty mentor, Dr. Pfannenstiel, for her valuable guidance on this project. She would also like to thank her family and friends for their constant and unconditional support.
