About Me
I've grown channels from 10,000 to one million followers, run campaigns that generated 72 million impressions on a shoestring budget, and built player communities that were thriving before the games they supported even launched.
Education: I graduated from Portland State University's school of business in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a certification in Social Innovation.
Experience: I've worked in digital and online media since 2005, building and leading communities for companies including Zynga, Viacom, and Sony — across brands like FarmVille 2, Vampire Wars, NeoPets, and The Jersey Shore.
My focus has always been on the intersection of community, content, and data — understanding what players and audiences need, then building the strategies and teams to deliver it.
I read, study history, and write short fiction when I'm not doing that.
Over 10+ years in gaming and media, I've built communities from nothing, turned stagnant channels into thriving ones, and run campaigns that outlasted the budgets they were given.
