1. PERSONAL BRAND EXPLORATION
Khalid Alaboud
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
September 10, 2023

2. I was born and raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. As
a child, I loved storytelling in video games,
books, and animated media. What stands out
from most of my peers is my desire to teach
myself the English language, but I never had the
opportunity to refine it until my early adulthood;
I spent several years aiding my family’s business
by doing odd jobs here and there. Despite
traveling to several countries, I had never set
foot in the U.S. until February 27, 2023, which
marks a new chapter in my life, starting with
enrolling in a Business Certificate at Full Sail
University. My favorite core value is making the
best of any case possible.

develop and write a full game without the need for additional money, and
with free updated content. In fact, I did my research about the issue several
times and I thought of a proper solution.
