Frequently Asked Questions

 A technologist, analyst, & strategist at heart, one of my true passions is helping broker technological solutions to help students, staff, & faculty across the globe engage more fully in the power of education. I also hold a long-standing love of the way gaming can connect communities & generations. I see & live the incredible value in connecting the gaming community with career & educational opportunities. 

I've been a gamer since I was a little girl and offer a unique perspective of a gamer for gamers.  I engage in both console and PC video gaming, esports, tabletop gaming, and card games.  I truly believe that gaming, in almost any form, can bring people together and help us understand each other better. 

I am a subject matter expert for gaming & esports in education - a deep knowledge expert with a passion for expanding the academic application of gaming & esports.  Some of the work I have  engaged in includes hosting summer virtual esports conferences, participating as a Girls Who Game mentor & guest speaker, hosting the Esports in Education Discord server, participating in various panels, webinars, & conferences, hosting the inaugural esports multi-day in-person event at the Phi Theta Kappa 2022 Catalyst Conference in Denver & hosting monthly Esports Research Collaborative meetings with coaches, directors, researchers, & doctors from around the globe.  Please see my "Services" page for more ideas on how we can work together!

I love to travel!  I'd be more than happy to discuss engagements anywhere in the world.  Typically, my speaking or consultation fee will include potential travel costs, but I discuss this with clients on a case by case basis.  Please schedule a consultation on my "Services" page or reach out to me via the "Contact" form to set up a time for us to discuss. 

Please do!  One of the benefits I can offer my clients is my deep network in the gaming and esports ecosystem.  Even if you don't have a particular project in mind, please consider scheduling a free 30 minute consultation with me where we can get to know each other and brainstorm about ways I can help move your project, class, program, organization, or business along. You can also connect with me on LinkedIn or Twitter!

I discuss consultation and engagement rates on a case by case basis with each client.  Every client's needs are different - some may require travel, some may be multiple day engagements, some may be only an hour or two, but span over multiple months.  I pride myself on providing the maximum amount of value during our engagements.  Please schedule a consultation on my "Services" page or reach out via the "Contact" page so that we can discuss your unique situation.
