DagdaCon Director 

Growing up in a nerd-filled household, I've spent years diving into board games, RPGs, card games, and everything in between. While I enjoy it all, my core love lies with wargames, and I've run a good few successful community events for them over the years. It only feels natural to extend that enthusiasm to all the communities of our nerdy otherworlds with DagdaCon!

I’m always looking for opportunities to use what I know and learn what I don’t, so after working in various roles in cons in the U.S., I’m jumping into the otherworlds with DagdaCon! My favorite games are word games, l love misusing the English language.

Gaming has always been the core of my life, I went to my first convention at 12 years old and was hooked! I am bringing my background of marketing and events to the table and am excited to get into all the nerdy socials. Fav type of game is take over the world map games.

A longtime gamer, I'm thrilled to join the organizing committee. I have 15 years professional experience in administration and operations to ensure the convention runs smoothly and efficiently.  I’ll focus on the logistics that keep the "fun" flowing. When I’m not building spreadsheets, I enjoy  strategy and grand adventure games.

I grew up playing the ‘traditional’ board and card games. Lots of summers playing solitaire (what else is there to do when it is raining). It was college when I was introduced to modern tabletop games and I haven’t looked back. I love learning and playing new games.
