- My primary role was to organize social events and fundraisers for the league to bolster community engagement and maintain our competitive edge over other LGBTQ+ sports leagues- After COVID shut down most of our in-person gatherings, I organized social media campaigns to maintain engagements during the off-season, such as bracket tournaments and drag shows- When restrictions were lifted and we were able to play again, I filmed and edited weekly content to maintain community engagement week-by-week, and to promote the "spirit of the game" in collusion with the TGFL brand's values
