Hi, I’m Mivi! Growing up in West Wales was pretty cool—imagine living in the middle of nowhere since you were three. As a teen, I loved history (thanks to an awesome teacher) and gaming. I was into reading, playing the flute, and singing in my county choir.  I adore sea otters and have had several pets, including my current Syrian hamster named Gerwig (after Greta Gerwig). She’s a bit shy but super cute!  I repeated a year of of sixth form but due to mental health issues, I decided it wasn't for me. So I switched directions, going to college to do an extended diploma in Creative Media! This was really fun and where I actually felt like I belonged and was good at things. I also had a YouTube channel where I taught myself how to edit. After college, I went to university in Bristol to study Film & Television for both my BA and MA. I was a Student Ambassador, Course Rep and Peer Mentor while I was there! I also was a member of the Film Society, Eurovision Society and Welsh Society. After university, I dipped my toes in marketing but soon realized my true passion lay in the video game industry. Now, I’m a Community Manager for indie game developers and a Content Coordinator for a non-profit. My job involves managing social media, editing videos, designing graphics, and running game nights and streams. It’s super fun! My specialty at Uncommon is gaming - can’t wait to see you all in session!
