Victoria Tran is the Community Director at Innersloth, known for its social deduction game 'Among Us', which went viral during the pandemic — partly thanks to streamers on Twitch!

She’s also a speaker and a writer on the topic of community management in the games industry, and was on the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2022.

We spoke to her about her origin story, how she grew the Among Us TikTok page to over 4 million followers, and what it was like to play in one of the most successful live streams in Twitch history.
