My Gaming Experience
My journey in esports began with cherished memories of playing Lego games on my Xbox with my family. As I grew, so did my love for gaming, culminating in discovering Overwatch and diving into its competitive atmosphere with friends. College marked a pivotal moment where my passion for esports shined. Joining the Overwatch club, I embraced the opportunity to cast matches for our college team. Transitioning to a flex support player, I delved deep into the game, honing my mechanics and strategic knowledge. The team not only fueled my competitive spirit but also provided a supportive community, teaching me valuable skills like communication under pressure and teamwork. Our collective efforts led to three NECC championships, solidifying our bond and my dedication. Now, I stand at the brink of a new chapter, eager to explore event coordination and player management, armed with the lessons learned and triumphs of my esports journey.
My Goals
As someone who grew up immersed in competitive gaming, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of the online community. My mission is to cultivate a gaming environment that is inclusive and welcoming to all. I firmly believe that anyone, with a passion for learning and dedication, can excel in competitive gaming.
My overarching goal is to promote diversity within the esports community. There's a noticeable lack of female representation from collegiate to professional teams. We must provide more opportunities for women in gaming to pave the way for future generations, so we can strive towards a more balanced representation at the highest levels. To further this aim, I'm researching the demographics of Overwatch players, while actively fostering a culture of inclusivity at my college by spotlighting marginalized players.
In my role as Overwatch club head and manager, I'm dedicated to expanding our esports program to accommodate players of all skill levels. Currently, we have three Overwatch teams ranging from silver to Top 500 players, offering opportunities for anyone aspiring to become an esports player.
