About

My name is Imani Francis, I am 19 years old, born and raised in Mornington, Victoria. I live at home with my mum and younger brother, I play girls footy and have worked an array of part time jobs since the age of 14. I have three main passions, Entertainment, Gaming and Sport. I completed my VCE at Mornington Secondary College and went on to study business at La Trobe before transferring to study Information Technology at Deakin.

My dream job is to work in the production of video games as a voice actress but because there isn’t exactly a set pathway for such a career I want to expand my knowledge of the gaming world. I plan to do this through a degree in Information Technology Majoring in Game development complimented by design and drama electives.
