| COMMUNITY |

I am a prior co-director of DMG (formerly Dames Making Games), a space for queer and gender-marginalized people to create games freely. Additionally, I’ve also been an active participant in many community and industry-focused events, including being a mentor in a variety of mentorship programs, being on event programming committees, serving as a jury member, and being an advisor for GDC’s Indie Game Summit.
