Well, it’s been real serving you, Twitch community 💜
Being laid-off from your dream job is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to every talented and passionate person impacted today. I'm so proud of the work I've done in my 3.5yrs, alongside the best teams I have ever worked with.
Man on the street in Auckland: ‘excuse me can you point me to a great, fancy/hipster coffee shop around here? It all looks terrible!’
Me: ‘yeah so what you wanna do is head down this street, turn left and catch a flight to Wellington.’
I'm so excited

I’m excited to be helping grow this innovative global brand with it’s roots in NZ. I'm equally stoked for the opportunity to deepen my experience in the game dev industry.
I wanted to give this one the holiday break to really sink in but, in very exciting career news... They're letting me tackle a whole new country 😎
2022 is looking poggers 💜
Closing out the year with a big ol’ personal achievement… I’ve been promoted to Marketing Director, APAC ✨

I’ve still never been to a Twitch office... but I am so incredibly grateful to work with some of the smartest, kindest, most inspiring team mates ever, doing awesome things. The future is bright (purple)! 💜

Do u guys think the CEOs are texting each other like, ‘hey are you guys already doing layoffs on tuesday? oh ok cool that’s alright we can do thursday. have a good golf round buddy!’
With that said, I'm looking for the next thing I can bring my passion to. I'm a leader with 10 years of industry experience in brand marketing, events, social, influencer, communications, and community management.
Please let me know of any openings, remote or Sydney based.
Uh so, I think it's time to share some ✨news✨ since a lot of people know now & it's becoming hard to keep secret...
I've resigned from my position at
@LetsPlayLiveHQ
, I finish up at the end of the month. I am going to miss everyone there a LOT 💚
News about what's next soon™️
Uh wow I was not aware I was breaking this news.
I don't have a sound cloud to promo but, yes these are real, no I don't have them, and here's the link if u wanna buy the slippers for your gamer feet:
I am having the emotions.
Putting a booth on the PAX floor for Twitch somehow feels like the biggest achievement of my career. Something I’d dreamed of doing for years, and now it’s here.
I really hope y’all like it 💜
For the love of god please do not listen to anyone who tells you that you could have done something to prevent being laid off. Especially *checks notes* having a personal brand. Excuse my language but they can fuck all the way off.
Some days, people ask me "what should I study to try and get into esports!"
And it takes all the will power I have to not reply
Early Childhood Education
I’ve just realised I never talked about my recent change in title here on the Twitter...
✨ FYI I am now Head of Platform and Leagues at
@LetsPlayLiveHQ
✨
I’m passionate and committed to doing everything in my power to grow the esports industry for Oceania.
My heart has swelled 1000x in seeing this campaign roll out over the past week. Huge love to the creators featured for working with us on this, they are superstars 💜💜💜
Apparently 5 years ago I scheduled an email to myself... I was hoping for something inspirational but it reads:
“Wow ur almost 30, do we have a dog yet?”
Saying ‘this isn’t NZ’ is kind of like when people make excuses for others like, ‘but you know, they’re usually a good person they didn’t mean it like that.’
This has happened. It is us. We can wish it hadn’t, but that’s not where we’re at.
I literally cannot stop laughing every time I see news about Portugal making it illegal for your boss to contact you outside of work hours
can u imagine
Thank you so much for all the messages, but as others have already said, we don't really know anything yet. But I really appreciate you all.
This is so exhausting man I just wanna do good work 😔
Hey, smol announcement *dusts off LinkedIn cobwebs*
✨ I levelled up
@LetsPlayLiveHQ
– I am now Project Lead
💜 I would really like to thank the whole LPL team for believing in me, and letting me deliver on my love for esports, gaming, organisation & community every single day.
I just caught myself thinking, "wow I am lucky I have only been bullied by men in this industry."
Lucky. To ONLY be bullied. That is messed up.
I hear you. I believe you. Listen to women.
PSA to anyone waiting on anything from me this week, I have had an unexpected death in my family and I am also very busy and stressed and I am not coping well but I’m trying.
I appreciate your patience 💕
The outpouring of love from you all following the Bad News yesterday has been simply overwhelming and so, so kind.
Thank you so much to everyone who has posted or sent a message, I feel so appreciated and valued, and honestly that is so rare in this world. Thank you 💜
Two years at
@Twitch
today! Time really flies, don’t it.
Still thankful to work alongside such passionate and talented teams everyday

Did y’all know the COO of Twitch is a kiwi woman? I didn’t. And now I am equal parts inspired and overwhelmed.
I’m having a crisis that my big dreams maybe /are/ possible, and wondering /how/ to achieve things that large.
The current Twitter vibe is when the bar closes and everyone is trying to figure out where the next thing is but everyone ends up just going home in a cab
Hello I have almost been at my new job for two and a half weeks and I have a smol update for you:
💜 I am very much loving it 💜
2020 has been a rough time in so many ways, but heck I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with these amazing people and this awesome brand.
Sorry I know this is vague but today is a ✨good✨ day and so I just wanted to put some good vibes out in the ether for you also, fellow internet friends 💖
I hope it's a ✨good✨ day for you today (or soon) too.
A profoundly simple tip for creators... ya'll gotta learn to be good with email.
I know it's a meme at this point that creators don't email etc, but the entire biz world is going to prioritise you if you can learn to manage ya email! It will be worth your time. I promise.
A friendly reminder that if you like the things people are doing, tell them!
People* are their own worst critics and it's really easy to get caught up in any negativity that you see. It is like the best breath of fresh air to hear someone appreciates what you do!
Me.
It is always nice to know you made an impact on people with your work. I appreciate the kind words!
However this job is so far from done. & to be honest my work supporting underrepresented groups doesn't stop because they stop paying me, it never did 🖤 always here if I can help
We want to take a moment to thank
@hellomisspotter
and
@Vondle
for the work they have done over the last few years for us mob and other First Nations communities
They’ve helped open spaces for us we never could have dreamed of and we are eternally grateful 💜
Genuinely exhausted from fighting for this industry to be better. But I won’t stop.

✨ Hi, hello! I'm Amy.
🍕 I tweet a lot about video games, tech, pizza, dogs, and make-up. I do bad jokes.

I don't want to get ahead of myself, team... But, for the first time I think ever in my life, I feel like I know what my 'career' is, and what short, medium and long term professional growth I want to achieve.
It feels so, so amazing 💜
✌️🎉 2 Years
@LetsPlayLiveHQ
✌️🎉
2 years of highs, lows, learning and growth. It hasn’t always been, and still isn’t, the easiest job in the world but I count myself lucky to work in an industry I love everyday.
