Career

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.
