  • Dear Riot Games HR
  • As an esports manager and finance student with a deep passion for gaming culture, I bring practical experience in community engagement, market research, and digital communication. I’m excited to bring my insights and energy to Riot Games, translating player data into strategies that enhance retention and expand reach.
  • During my time managing a university esports organization, I led digital outreach, grew member engagement, and analyzed behavioral data to improve our messaging and participation. I applied tools like Excel and Tableau to track and visualize trends, enabling us to better connect with our audience and streamline events. This experience sharpened both my analytical and creative marketing skills.
  • Beyond the technical side, I understand what resonates with players—because I am one. I follow evolving gaming trends, observe how communities form, and study how content and campaigns influence loyalty and growth. These insights shape how I approach storytelling, branding, and engagement—core components of Riot’s player-focused philosophy.
  • I’m enthusiastic about the opportunity to join Riot’s mission to deliver deeply resonant experiences to players worldwide. I would welcome the chance to contribute to your marketing team’s success and continue growing as a game industry professional.
