Farmer began her winding journey in OU Esports due to her work with her fellow veterans in mental health programs involving gaming.
“I had been working with the Wounded Warrior Project for a program called Monday Night Mayhem, and I got interested in learning how to stream,” Farmer said. “I found out that OU Esports and OU Gaming Club was a thing.”
From there, Farmer quickly found herself in leadership roles that included Call of Duty coach, outreach coordinator and marketing coordinator. For Farmer, these experiences were a valuable lesson in adaptation.
“(It’s) been really great to learn to pivot,” Farmer said. “Getting to do a little bit of all different things helped me figure out how to mature my own voice.”
