• Staff Writer + Broadcaster

  • Jan 2019 - Present

  I write a biweekly strategy column and make audio/video content for the largest content producer (and major retailer) for Magic: the Gathering, one of the oldest and most popular competitive card games. I am also a commentator for the SCG Tour Online, Star City Games' tournament series broadcast on Twitch. In 2019, I competed professionally on the tabletop SCG Tour, the premier North American tournament series, winning three Open events (tying the record for Open wins in a year) and ranking #2 in the Player of the Year race. This type of competition involves making accurate, time-sensitive decisions with complex and limited information and preparation for these events requires extensive collaboration with players from a wide range of backgrounds as well as careful planning and time management.
