As someone who enjoys a challenge, I love running Legion Raids and spending my free time as a casual Inferno content enjoyer. My community, the Litter Box, is all about wholesome vibes and good laughs, and we welcome everyone from new mokokos to degens. I'm not the best player, but I do strive to learn and improve every single day. Come chat with me and let's play together.

I used to be a full-time accountant before giving up the number crunching to stream Lost Ark.

I host learning parties weekly for any raids my community needs and strive to create a welcoming, encouraging place for folks to learn. So whether you’re a newer player looking for some friendly advice or a veteran wanting to talk about how gunslinger is the strongest class in the game, my Twitch channel has you covered!
