Career
Valkyrae began her professional journey with ‘GameStop,’ an American retailer for video games, consumer electronics, and wireless services. She worked there for a year and a half, although she never enjoyed working there.
Working with a gaming company led Valkyrae to develop an interest in gaming. After quitting her job, she turned toward live streaming. Valkyrae joined 'Twitch' and eventually became a full-time streamer. Her journey on 'Twitch' took a leap when she started playing 'Fortnite.' Soon, Valkyrae attained new career heights. Despite the fact that 'Twitch' is a male-dominated platform, Valkyrae, with the help of her charm and gaming skills, managed to earn a spot among the most popular 'Twitch' streamers. She also participated in 'Fortnite’s' spin-off game, 'Battle Royale.' Valkyrae’s dress sense on 'Twitch' is relatively conservative compared with other female live streamers on the platform. This became instrumental in earning her a huge fan base. Despite this, she was once harassed by one of her 'Twitch' viewers. The unknown 'Twitch' user regularly spammed sexist and racist comments directed toward Valkyrae until she had a personal chat with the 'Twitch' user and threatened to file a case against him.
Valkyrae has over 500 thousand followers on 'Twitch.' She used her earnings from 'Twitch' to pay off her mother’s debts. Valkyrae still plays 'Fortnite' on 'Twitch' and often teams up with other streamers such as Myth, Pokimane, Sonii, and Alexia Raye.
Valkyrae also uploads her 'Fortnite' content on her 'YouTube' channel. She garnered prominence as a 'YouTube' gamer by playing a number of popular game series such as 'Bloodborne' and ‘The Walking Dead' (video-game series). The channel now has over 421 thousand subscribers. She also posts pictures on 'Instagram,' where she has earned more than 583 thousand followers.
Some of Valkyrae’s 'Instagram' posts have been sponsored by brands such as 'Gymshark,' 'Urban Outfitters,' and 'Forever 21.'
Valkyrae owns a variety of gaming consoles such as 'Xbox One,' 'Wii U,' 'Nintendo 64,' 'Super Nintendo,' 'NES,' 'GameCube,' 'PS2,' 'Xbox 360,' and 'Original Xbox.' However, she mostly streams games through her 'PS4' account. As a star online gamer, Valkyrae has attended social-media events such as 'Twitchcon' and 'Blizzcon.'
