My Journey
As a caster who started in August of 2022, I've done my best to work on events that help me develop my casting abilities while still supporting the same ideals I support as someone working to help uplift the Game Changers and Collegiate Scenes. As I've branched out into mainstream Valorant in the past six months, I continue to work and pioneer for more marginalized gender representation in broadcast talent and Esports!
BroadcastHER Fellow
I was selected as a BroadCastHER fellow for the 2023 1,000 Dreams Fund Academy Fellowship - a program meant to support and mentor upcoming broadcast talent. With this program, I was paired with an Esports Mentor, shadowed Esports Production professionals at the HyperX Arena, and upgraded my streaming set-up to industry standard using their $1000 grant~!
Game Changers Focus
Starting with non-official events like Tactifriends and PsychoCup, I've grown to now cover GC EMEA this year and host un-official NA Game Changers Casts.
Game Changers NA Un-Official Cast
When Riot and Raidiant announced there would be no Open Qualifiers coverage this year in North American Game Changers, I decided to take the challenge upon myself, converting the Raidiant-provided clean feed into a fully professional broadcast equipped with an Analyst Desk, Casters, and player interviews. What started as a volunteer initiative, has grown into a paid project meant to uplift and spotlight both upcoming players and marginalized gender broadcast talent.From recruiting and organizing talent and Run of Shows, to even appearing on the broadcast, this project has developed every aspect of my involvement in the scene! I even dipped into graphic design for the broadcast package and social media posts!
Game Changers EMEA DivE Broadcasts
When DivE learned about the GC NA Un-Official Cast, they welcomed me on board for their GC EMEA Group and Playoffs Stage Broadcasts back in Stage 1. Since then, I have casted with a variety of people from all the different parts of the EMA region. I even got to appear on an Analyst desk in an official capacity for the first time. My knowledge of the region since has grown immensely from previously only knowing the teams that had played in GCC 2023 to now even Contendors teams.
My most notable Game Changers Events to date include:
- VCT GC EMEA Stage 1-3 2024 Group Stage and Playoffs Start
- NRG Neon Dream Invitational (Riot OFF//SEASON Event)
- Raidiant Academies 101, 103, 104
- Game Changers Academy (GCA) 2022
- Astral Clash 2022 LCQ
- Agents of Artemis RIOT Off-Season Tournament (SEA)
Collegiate Scene Involvement
Since my CVAL Winter 2023 debut, I have extended my involvement to EsportsU's CECC and NECC on their seasonal leagues and recently RBCC Regional Qualifiers. This innvolvement has culminated in me taking part in their LAN National Events for CECC and NECC.I am a first believer that High School Esports involvement (casted the HSEL Nationals) can lead to college recruitment which is the best environment to build competitive experience while pursuing an education. This allows players to develop and move into pro play while not disrupting the progress of their life outside of Esports. This ecosystem for germinating the next great Tier 1 talent is the scene I truly enjoy diving into, especially when the storylines dive into this progression from High School to College and College to Challengers and beyond!My most notable collegiate and high school events to date include:
- Collegiate Esports Commissioner's Cup (CECC) 2024 LAN
- NECC 2024 Nationals LAN
- High School Esports League (HSEL) Nationals
- Redbull Campus Clutch (RBCC) Regional Qualifiers 2023
- College Valorant (CVAL) North 2023
Additional Initiatives
In addition to casting events like the Milkteabords Invitational with mainstream Valorant Content Creators, I spend my time outside casting ensuring I stay connected with everything happening in the scene at each level from Tier 3 all the way to VCT.Since being brought into the Mystic Singularity Series and IGLeague, I developed my knowledge on the Challengers-contending teams and event casted my first in-person LAN event with The Funhaver Invitational 10k LAN.In addition to this, I have started engaging with players via press conferences and interviews which has been super informative and great for building and following storylines within the VCT circuit. I plan to continue this into the next season.
