Experience

• Internal Community Manager at GameU

  March 2024 - Present

  Full Time
  
  I schedule, promote, host, and document all internal events. I act as a liaison communicating with leaders across the company to unite our teams and build our company culture. On top of keeping things fun around the virtual office, I manage our workplace by improving information flow and communications through leading trainings. Finally, as a core part of the operations team, I look to data tracking to keep iterating on our internal processes through the lens of our internal community and events.

  On November 18th, 2025 I shifted from the Operations team to the HR team at the company with a similar title. The new team will provide me the opportunities to build even more meaningful and engaging experiences for our fully remote staff.
