Team Member Profile: Vickey A. Beaver

Vickey Beaver is sponsored by the Dryden Rotary Club. While she has a customer service and hospitality background, Vickey has long been an avid communicator. She is most proud of the work she has done for the content of Websites, newsletters, and the Cornell University staff newspaper, Pawprint, and of training documentation she produced for various companies. Over the last nine years, she has been a contractor for a variety of for- and not-for-profit concerns while maintaining a full-time career in the traditional sense. Today she works full-time as a writer focusing on contracting in the role-playing game (RPG) industry.

She is married to her best friend, Bob Beaver, and has three affectionate cats, the remainder of what she lovingly calls their Zoo Crew. Her hobbies include reading, traveling, cooking, gardening, entertaining, and, not surprisingly, games of role-playing. She is currently contracted for a part of an RPG series by Talisman Studios, registered in England.

Vickey plans to use every experience to better understand English culture, past and present. While exposure to any RPG firms or magazine companies would be delightful, she’s confident she will benefit from any activity arranged, especially those of a historic nature. She has a special interest in daily life in the Middle Ages.
