About
I was born and raised in Moh’kinsstis (Calgary, Alberta), which resides on Treaty 7 land of the Blackfoot confederacy: which includes the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina nations. Treaty 7 is also to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
I am a highly skilled and experienced Community Manager with a proven track record of success in the gaming industry. With two-plus years of experience in the video games industry, I am proficient in copywriting, social media management, project development, storefront design, and website design.
Prior to community management, I was a freelance writer for TheGamer in Montreal and Boss Level Gamer, where I contributed several gaming articles a week based on SEO performance. I also created meaningful images through Photoshop to draw in readers and created guides that provide insight into game mechanics and strategies. In addition to Photoshop, I have experience with Premiere and Davinci Resolve.
