A walk down memory lane

As the Product Manager of Communities & Associations at DreamHack, I’ve been instrumental in enhancing the festival experience and driving inclusivity. Originally focused on partnership integration, my role expanded to include executing partner deliverables, curating the largest Artist Alley and Indie Playground, and creating the Chill Zone to improve accessibility. I pioneered accessibility initiatives and internal processes that set new standards for DreamHack festivals in North America. Additionally, I oversee charity efforts, cosplay and drag activations, and much more- including the integration of communities and organizations, while also managing and training staff to ensure seamless event execution.

Ohio Animal Advoactes
Here’s another example of how I applied my skills to support a cause I deeply care about. By redesigning the OAA website and implementing a range of targeted marketing strategies, I was able to significantly boost the organization’s impact, resulting in a doubling of both their volunteer base and funding.
Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup
As Head of Media and Marketing for the Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, the largest collegiate esports event ever, I spearheaded the media strategy and execution. I orchestrated Media Day, capturing dynamic content for over 180 teams, and managed the rapid turnaround of editing and preparing materials for immediate use. Leading a dedicated team, I ensured that all media assets were ready to go by the following day, significantly enhancing the event’s visibility and engagement.

Esports Foundry was a pivotal stepping stone in my professional journey into the gaming and esports industry. As a dynamic hub overseeing a diverse portfolio, including Game Arena, EsportsGear, Metactix, and Vanguard, Esports Foundry offered me a unique opportunity to immerse myself in various facets of the industry. From merchandise design to event production, I was able to expand my skills and knowledge across multiple areas, contributing to and learning from a range of exciting projects.
