Community Manager at Obsidian Entertainment
Turned my passion of gaming into a career! Started in QA and discovered my love of talking to players and sharing their excitement and passion of the games we work on. 

Using the skills I've obtained from my degree, I helped create graphics, gifs, and memes for our social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) and my video editing skills to create update videos for our crowdfunding backers for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Released Projects:
-Godzilla (2014) (PS4)
-FireFall
-Pillars of Eternity
-Pillars of Eternity - The White March I & II (DLC)
-Pathfinder Adventures Digital Card Game (Android, iOS, & PC)
-Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
   - Beast of Winter (DLC)

Greetings and well met adventurer! Community involvement is my number one priority. Without our fans and players, we would not be here today.

Creating a solid foundation is the key to success!

I am schooled in the secret arts of gif-weaving, Curator of dank memes, sender of birds to tweet our words for our social media outlets. Conjurer of the visual arts, forming images that tell a story to show the world at our viewing portals of YouTube. I am an engineer of live entertainment for the summoning portals of Twitch.
