IGN has finally added a community manager spot on their website and I'm gunning for it. Why do I think I'm the best for the job? Well, lets see:

Alumni

I have been a member of the IGN community for over 10 years. Commenting on IGN's articles, posting on the forums and been blogging for as long as IGN has had blogs. I've written for IGN on several occasions on IGN's old Insider pages and been a site Manager on the Final Fantasy Vault and an editor on the Halo IGN community site.

IGN has been a big part of my life and since they have given me so much, I want to give even more back to you guys. I want to let other people shine since IGN gave me so many chances!

Social Media

I love social media. I have a major presence on IGN, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. I love to interact. I love to talk and I love to be part of a major community. It's given me the opportunity to voice my opinions, something that I couldn't do in high school because I was never part of the in crowd.

Social media has given me the upmost courage to speak my mind, which gave me the courage to explore myself and go to keep in touch with a lot of my friends, especially the one's I have made here.

Community

The biggest part of any online presence is the community. IGN has a massive and fun community that is unmatched on the internet. We all love video games, movies, TV or comics. We like sports, we like music and we like to do things. We are a part of one big world and I feel I can connect with anyone in any form of entertainment.

Being an online presence like IGN, you have to make sure you set the standard. IGN is the leader in all forms of entertainment and you have be on the top of your game at all times. I have been a community manager for multiple websites including Player Affinity and Broken Joysticks. I love working a strong community and I love to work with people. I have knowledge in lots of community software such as VBulletin, PHPBB, Wordpress and Tumblr.

Most of all, I am a nerd. I know in my heart that I am and I'm not afraid to admit it. I have been a nerd all of my life. I'm even a meme...no, seriously:

I love bacon. Like a lot...

I love IGN. My friends know, even some of the staff at IGN know it. I am perfect for the job. Let me manage your community IGN. I will not disappoint.
