I created TheGamingDojo.com, a company that featured weekly fighting game tournaments, and after-school coding programs for underrepresented youth while living in Colorado. Through hosting the biggest tournament in Colorado before Dreamhack arrived I was scouted by Microsoft to develop and manage the Chicagoland gaming community. 

​

Before making a name for myself at Microsoft I managed my own community as well as the beginning stages of Black Girl Gamers. This is where my community management skills were sharpened. 

​

Managing The Gaming Dojo, the backend and content end of Black Girl Gamers, and creating events like console launches and midnight releases with Microsoft honed my marketing skills. I know how to secure sponsorships, be booked as a guest speaker and book guest speakers all while speaking to various demographics.
