who is carina?
I know online fan culture as someone who was in it for the love of the game long before going pro.I was a pre-teen learning how to code on Xanga, LiveJournal, and MySpace, which turned into a love of existing in and creating online fan spaces that translated into building real-life communities in convention halls, hotel rooms, and concert venues. I've done marketing strategy for a popular Atlanta gaming bar and venue and ran social media for a pop culture convention that served fans of The Walking Dead and The CW's DC Extended Universe.
I've most recently worked as a Digital Asset Specialist for top corporate clients like Mars, Clorox, and L’Oreal, collaborating with agency users on metadata management and user training, as well as auditing and enrichment of assets on top of migration.My experience ranges from real-time communications and community management to digital asset management, with many personal endeavors in social content creation, copywriting, photo editing, and building out many, many primers for friends dipping their toes into online fan communities. I'm also pursuing a certification in project management.
In my free time, you can catch me perusing records at an estate sale in Atlanta, watching an F1 race with one eye open, planning my next trip to see a Nick Cave soundsuit in person, or waving a lightstick at a K-Pop concert.
