I might be the worst person ever, sorry for the delays. 
So, to the topic, I am not here to replace anyone, fill anyone’s shoes or otherwise. For starters, I am here to work alongside @Amanda.Bott in an effort to engage and interact with the Engine community. I have not had the privilege of meeting Alex so I cannot speak to his character or how he worked with the Community. As people have spoken highly of him, I automatically have respect for him.
At the root of me as a person, I love building lasting, meaningful and inspired relationships with people. I love to get to know people and to invite them to get to know me. Those relationships support a greater goal, and that is - as I mentioned earlier, engaging and interacting with the community. My role goes beyond just those two words, however. I strive to understand what is happening within the Community and act as the voice within Epic to better serve what is happening.
