Respawn DEI Council Storytelling Workstream Lead

Since 2021, I have led an employee-driven diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) workstream focusing on studio-wide inclusive storytelling and authentic representation initiatives. During 2022, we targeted studio engagement by inviting developers to contribute to DEI Character Spotlights. In 2023, we aim to evaluate our character creation pipeline to understand areas where we can increase meaningful representation and inclusivity.

This work has been recognized with multiple nominations for EA’s internal accolade, the EA People and Purpose Awards 2022.
