Carmen is a passionate and proactive recruiter who is dedicated to achieving DEI initiatives. They consistently participate in conferences and events, with a particular focus on bringing BIPOC individuals into the gaming industry. They are active in person and online through several social media networks, including LinkedIn and Discord, where they post about job opportunities and engage with the gaming community. Actions speak louder than words, and Carmen's actions clearly demonstrate their commitment to bridging the gap for BIPOC individuals in the gaming industry.

It was so lovely meeting Carmen at Siggraph 2023. She was incredibly kind, informative, and easy to connect with. We talked about diversity in games, career journey, and she even offered to connect me with one of her contacts. I'm grateful I got to meet her :)
