People Person

Kickstarter is a global crowdfunding platform based in the United States. The company’s stated mission is to help bring creative projects to life.

Originally from Toronto, currently living in New York & working at Kickstarter. I am an ALA-accredited librarian and archivist, an ex-Euphonium player, a passionate home cook & baker and very part-time blogger. I love food, people, music, movies & having a lol. While I was in Toronto, I worked as a music librarian and archivist at a number of notable Canadian institutions. I was always focused on community building within the context of libraries, but I fell in love with Community Managment after participating in SoundCloud's Fellowship program in the summer of 2011. You can read more about all of that here: http://bit.ly/SU171TShortly after I moved to Berlin, I started working as a Community Manager at great startup called Gidsy - where I stayed until April 2013, when Gidsy joined GetYourGuide. I worked as the CM, focusing on building a strong and passionate brand Community around the world.Now: living and working in Brooklyn, for Kickstarter.
