Community Management
Deakin Game Development Group
Summary
I was an executive of a student-run group called Deakin Games Development Group at Deakin. My duties were organizing events and activities to develop a strong GameDev community at Deakin and to provide opportunists for aspiring students to develop their portfolios and their networks.
