T.A.G. Labs
Prior to starting TAG I co-founded Popuparcadedc. During that tenure I was introduced to Terrence and T.A.G. Labs where we started collaborating by producing a gaming event series called the Good of Gaming. Shortly after that I joined the team and started working as an instructor and helping organize the classes.
Interfaced with school administrators, organization executives, convention executives and other partners to sell program and establish partnerships. Established social media and content creation strategies.
For our Afterschool programs I worked with instructors on classroom prep, equipment management and communication with community partners. Helped create curriculum items for various afterschool programs and workshops.
Participated in various PR events such as Caribbean Technology Education. During CTEC, I hosted a talk on the good of gaming, hosted two workshops on how to use game design in education. Hosted panels for Escape Velocity 2016 and 2018 speaking on the Good of Gaming and how to become a video game developer.
