The Story
The idea of creating something always excited me. Throughout high school, I ran an online blog covering a mobile esports game, Vainglory. Alone I recruited a global team of 43 writers, editors, developers, and influencers to sustain a content network. Together we were the dominant news and strategy resource for a top-charting game. For my writing, I specialized in breaking exclusive news provided by the game’s publisher, Super Evil Megacorp, and in-depth gameplay analysis. SEMC hired me after being impressed with my work leading Broken Myth.
