My name is Rhu Paatan, I’m a first year student at CSUMB studying Computer Science with a concentration in game development. Outside of my major I’m interested in the arts, from drawing and painting to musical performance. As for my cultural background, I’m Filipino. I lived in the Philippines when I was young and have visited a few times since to spend time with family. I also speak a bit of Tagalog and am trying to learn the other Filipino dialects (Bisaya & Ilocano) that my parents speak.
