Summary

I am a detail-oriented individual with a background in accountancy but an interest in pursuing a role that's more tailored to my experiences outside of my job. I have been running video game tournaments for over 4 years - which included fostering a Discord and Twitter community - as well as creating in-depth analyses of video games on YouTube, focusing mostly on indie games.


I'm always keen to learn and happy to take on challenges within my work. One aspect I pride myself on is never settling for how things are currently done, as I've identified various ways in my previous jobs that our workflow could be improved, despite being one of the more junior members of staff.


I'm passionate about the video game industry and believe indie games to be the beating heart of said industry. I'm always up to date on the most recent releases - both AAA and indie - and find myself going out of the way to experience the most creatively captivating ventures that people have to offer.
