About: I have worked several years in the gaming industry and was the first female to be employed by Blizzard Entertainment in the European eSport division as an associate eSport program manager. I'm proud to have produced some great eSport shows including streams & content for both Twitch.tv, Youtube.com & TV6play along with Swedish Television (SVT). Creating and hosting events & productions involve unique and exciting marketing campaigns, work & business models.
