Today marks my one year at

This past year has given me: amazing people to call my friends & colleagues, unforgettable experiences, & the chance to work on games I love. Bring on the stein!
#BlizzLife
Excited to say that I've been promoted to Senior Global PR Manager!! It's been a dream to lead the global comms strategy for my favorite games like

We said goodbye to my sweet Jinx this weekend. For nearly 18 years he was glued to my side
I feel hollowed out. Haven’t been sleeping or eating much but seeing how much he meant to friends & family has meant the world
Embrace the good in your life & love with your whole heart❤️
What can I say? I love
@PlayApex
and
@PlayApexEsports
Rolling with this cute crew, working with my world class team, and seeing so many humans I adore is too good!!
Nothing beats Apex LANs ❤️
S19 details are now live! Don’t sleep on the major respawn changes we’ve got in Ignite…
Players will now respawn with armor and weapons so think twice when you hear that drop ship coming!
Some big things coming in Apex Season 19:
- You respawn with your weapons and armour (no attachments)
- Wingman in the care package
- Ranked Promotional Challenges to rank up
- Nerfs to Bangalore and Catalyst
My heart is full from seeing so many wonderful colleagues & friends at the 5th Anniversary party!
Sad there wasn’t enough time to see everyone but so very grateful for the big hugs & hellos I did get!
Too many big feelings & not enough words for my amazing
@PlayApex
team ❤️
Still recovering but here's my LAN in a nutshell:
Too many ppl to thank, not enough time to hang, and love the passion in this incredible community & team!
THANK YOU to all who joined us and shared your joy & energy with me! Love you all sm ❤️
Let's run it back for Split 2 😈
The
@BlizzHeroes
community is one of the best & most passionate communities out there. Working on Heroes of the Storm is career highlight and the team, community, and of course game, will forever hold a special place in my heart!
You KNOW your girl is still a Stukov main💙
With S18 launching tomorrow, here's my favorite easter egg from S17
During S16 promo, we joked about the legend meta changes being like something from a dream journal. Our AMAZING lead legend designer, Devan McGuire, actually made one irl
Now you can find it on Mirage à Trois!
Trying to sum up my
#ALGS
Champs week & the word connection feels right
To my incredible PR & ALGS teams, my devs, EA, our players, talent, media, & everyone who connected with me to share your passion - THANK YOU!
These connections are what makes the ALGS & Apex so special ❤️
Huge congrats to my
@Diablo
fam!!! I'm loving seeing all of these amazing reviews come in for Diablo IV. This team worked SO hard & I'm thrilled that they're finally able to show the world what they've been up to!!
I can't WAIT to start slaying in Sanctuary on June 6 🖤❤️
In Dec, I signed myself up for a crazy 24 hrs.
@famitsu
came out for a
@Respawn
studio tour on the same day we filmed the S16 Dev Diary. It required dozens of people from around the globe to make happen!
I still get a bit emotional when I hold a copy of one of my covers!
This has been a good birthday week. Not only am I so lucky to have the best friends, colleagues, and family who showered me with so much love, but we also launched a kick ass new season of
@PlayApex

#ApexLegends
continues to enamor players every day, which is why we jumped at the opportunity to visit Respawn's studio in Vancouver, Canada, to dive deep into the game's history and play its next big update.
It was surreal and so cool seeing many of my
@PlayApex
teammates in person for the first time tonight! And finally seeing

I love that this incredible game is made by equally amazing people!
Forgive me for geeking out for a min but it was an honor to snag the first GI cover feature for

in 16 years!
@gameinformer
was an absolute pleasure to work with on this super rad cover feature for
@Warcraft3
. A big thank you to
@dantack
for such a cool write up!
Two weeks ago I built a new rig and finally got around to taking some pictures. It's been more than five years since I built my last PC, so figured it was time.
It's so extra and I love it😭
Congratulations to my
@Blizzard_Ent
and
@Diablo

I'm not public facing but I get to help make the biggest Apex moments happen. Today I'm celebrating you - the beautiful humans I've met because of Apex❤️
In the midst of the usual pre-season craziness, thought it was time for proof of life photo.
Also pictured: a Ferrari fan who hasn’t watched the race yet 😬
Endlessly grateful for all who have been checking in on me. I’m still at Blizzard but I’ve been struggling to find the right words for this week.
The outpouring of support for those impacted by layoffs has been inspiring. My colleagues will be an asset to any team they join!
My work is behind the scenes & requires a lot of trust from the team. We filmed this in Dec & I’m so thrilled it’s finally out!
The
@PlayApex
team loves this game & community as much as players do. They pour so much into each season & I can’t wait for y’all to play Revelry!
We are so excited about this year of
@PlayApex
and want to take a moment give a sneak preview of the next Season in this special dev diary.
To all the players and creators who have supported us over the last four years, thank you.

My amazing partner made my lifelong dream come true by surprising me with tickets to the
#LasVegasGP
for my birthday!
An absolutely surreal experience and I still can’t believe we were close enough to know what the cars smell like!
Feelin’ like the luckiest girl 🥹
That’s a wrap on

Pls enjoy this group pic at our mocap studio. Lucky to work with so many amazing people to help tell Apex's story❤️
Last night we wrapped a DND campaign we started 4 years ago!
What started as a fun Diablo team bonding thing, continued through COVID, job changes & out of state moves
Shout out to our amazing DM
@JPiepiora
for creating an unforgettable story ❤️😭
Back when
@reynosocass
and I were tanking Diablo PR, we called ourselves the Gruesome Twosome. Then Cass made us matching shirts 😭
So grateful to have worked alongside so many talented and powerful women ❤️
Everyone will be receiving a response this week! Our teams have been reviewing all of the applicants so we appreciate your patience.

for all his work in putting on this tournament!
As a Season 0 player, I can honestly say that Three Strikes might be one of the best Apex LTMs to date 🔥
Can’t wait for y’all to play it next week and see if you love it as much as I do
The biggest partnership in Apex Legends history drops November 7th.
Unleash two weeks of beautiful mayhem with the new Limited Time Mode Three Strikes, unlock cosmetics designed in collaboration with Post Malone, and more.

Going to traditional events is always a trip because I live in black tees and hoodies. But on the plus side I get photographic evidence that my brother and I can clean up once in a while
Tonight I went to a Halloween party dressed as my cat… and yes I showed pictures of him when asked 😎
In non pet owner news, my brother went as Gomez Addams
I am beyond thrilled for everyone to meet our witchy queen, Catalyst, on November 1st!
It was an honor to help the team tell story about how they brought the first trans woman in
@PlayApex
to life. I hope y'all love her as much as we do!
Super late, but I wanted to shout out my forever fave
@Diablo
team for their exciting announcements this weekend! Loved seeing so many familiar faces talking about the great work they've been doing & I can't wait to bust corpses as a Necro in Diablo IV! Congrats again team!🖤
Congratulations to my friends on the Diablo team for launching
@DiabloImmortal
today! There are so many passionate and talented people who work on
@Diablo
and this launch was years in the making ❤️
So happy seeing y’all knock it out of the park!
The team is super committed to making the Ranked experience the best we can and we've got some exciting changes rolling out with S18 with more to come in future seasons

This is one of many steps in improving the competitive integrity of ranked and making the climb a strong memorable seasonal experience. Know that we are committed in making this better every season.
Last day of
#gamescom18
so here are some fun moments from this past week: dinner with
@MFPallytime
and
@CarBotAnimation
, a selfie break between interviews, an irresponsible amount of schnitzel, and the Dom in daytime.
This week was such a roller coaster - I got to geek out with
@alexisohanian
about
@BlizzHeroes
, was given my Stein, and said farewell to my darling and forever favorite
@Latienie
My heart breaks with the news of another wave of layoffs💔
For those that have been impacted, whenever you're ready, check out the open roles at Respawn:
Available to talk to folks who are looking at any of our open roles
I wanna shout out our amazing partnerships team
@shahin
and
@CraftyJoseph
. They legitimately love this community and this game and work tirelessly to support your favorite orgs and players!
So stoked we finally get to highlight just SOME of the amazing work they do ❤️
And while we’ve been fairly quiet about this previously (and despite what the internet would have you believe), this program has existed since the beginning of the ALGS, with each year's partnered teams receiving financial support.
After a super crazy window of launching both the newest season of
@PlayApex
and wrangling the world wide launch of
@PlayApexMobile
, it’s time to escape for a minute and recharge⚡️
Y'all ever have the worst week and then are super lucky to have the kindest and most rad people in your life to help pick you up?
