ABOUT JEN

During my earliest days on the internet I found myself gravitating into leadership positions within my communities. I always wanted to make a positive difference and help people around me. I was a forum moderator on multiple forums I frequented. I volunteered for many years—starting in 2007—on a forum for a pair developers known as Tale of Tales, with such titles as The Endless Forest, The Path, and Sunset. In my spare time in college, where I studied Photography for two years, I found myself bouncing around games such as Zoo Tycoon and Minecraft. I really enjoyed building and creating my worlds from the ground up.

After graduating I continued doing freelance photography and worked for a period of time at the Poverty Research Centre in Administration and Social Marketing Support. I was tasked with organizing meetings, assisting with social media by tracking and cataloguing media coverage, sharing relevant information on the Facebook fan page, organizing and inputting data into spreadsheets for database usage, and creating promotional and educational material in the form of documents, posters and slideshow presentations. It was here that I settled my roots in my interest in social media and in helping people. I didn't know it at the time, but my enjoyment of those things and my joy for video games would soon come together.
