Biography
Dunkelman was born in Montreal, Quebec to a Jewish family, as the middle child, with one older and one younger brother. She credits her brothers with getting her interested in Red vs Blue as well as Rooster Teeth as a whole. She signed up on Rooster Teeth's website in October 2004. In 2005 she attended and assisted at the premiere Toronto Red vs. Blue fan event, RvBTO. Starting in 2008, she helped organize it as co-host and Rooster Teeth liaison. She was a hostess for WatchMojo.com for several months in 2010.
Dunkelman graduated from Concordia University with a degree in Marketing in June 2011. In September 2011, she co-founded and co-hosted, with fellow employees Michael Jones, Ray Narvaez, Jr., Lindsay Jones, and Kerry Shawcross, along with fellow community members Andrew Blanchard, Mike Kroon, and Dylon Saramago, the triple award winning Internet Box podcast. In December 2011, she was hired by Rooster Teeth as their first Community Manager, in charge of developing community features and the company's social media. At the time of her hiring she was the most-followed member on the Rooster Teeth community site.
Since February 2012, she appears regularly on the award-winning Rooster Teeth Podcast. In May 2013, alongside fellow employee Jack Pattillo, she was interviewed as part of Microsoft's 2013 E3 Xbox One reveal. Despite her numerous appearances on the podcast and at events, she estimates that "only 25 percent" of her job, which entails marketing and management functions within the company, takes place in the public eye. Her current partner is Aaron Marquis, himself a Rooster Teeth employee.
