Product Manager, March 2016-Present

As with most startups, having a role does not always mean that is all you do. This is very much the case for me for me at Vreal. My knowledge of the streaming space was already extensive having been a community manager, so that made it easy for me to transition to a product role and help drive the product design.

I started as a QA tester at ArenaNet and quickly grew into a community role after showing my passion for communicating with players. The role of PvP community coordinator didn’t exist at the time but I started managing the community and the company decided to make it my full time work. This ultimately set me down the esports path and I have gained a ton of valuable experience since.
