My first game system was the original Game Boy - a second-hand, chunky, black-and-white beast that was older than I was. I can't tell you the name of the first game I played, but I can tell you that that summer, my world was changed.These days, my love of games extends to my role as a Conference Producer at Informa Tech, where I work with a team of industry greats to curate the content and agenda of the Summits program at the Game Developers Conference, the world's largest and longest-running event for professionals dedicated to the art and science of making games. From crafting epic narratives to building unbeatable team dynamics, my past experience in project management and the development of team-building activities and offbeat museum experiences is put to use in my quest (sorry) to create a stellar game developer event for all participants. Also, I make a killer spreadsheet.While my passion for games fuels my dedication, I firmly believe in fostering a progressive and inclusive environment at the conference. This extends to championing diverse perspectives and experiences, ensuring everyone feels empowered to contribute and thrive within the game development community.If complicated lore mixed with a healthy dose of incredibly cool spreadsheets is your kinda thing (or if you wanna nerd out about my other greatest passion, horror movies), let’s connect!
