MsTeamKK
Other Interests
Family
MsTeamKK didn’t tell her family about streaming or her channel until she had both received a Twitch partnership and gained enough subscribers to present them with a fair idea of the potential that a fulltime streaming career posed for her. Therefore, when she actually told them about her ambitions, they were fairly supportive of her, especially as she had never allowed her passion for gaming to interfere with her academics when she was in school. Her mom often watches her streams.
Name Origins
‘KK’ is an acronym for ‘Kappa Kappa’ as she used to be a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority when she was in college.
Gaming Origins
When she was growing in high school, her family moved a lot. This caused her to become increasingly introverted, which attracted her to playing video games, as they gave her a fun way to spend her free time and provided per with a platform to socialize on.
Professional Gaming
In December 2014, MsTeamKK got bored and started watching Twitch. As she watched the various streamers, she really felt that it was something that she could do. Her friends encouraged her to try it out and so, in January 2015, she started streaming Destiny. For the first few months she dedicated between 12 – 16 hours a day to streaming in order to grow her channel. She was majoring in Communications at Oregon State University at the time.
Income
MsTeamKK is estimated to have ~2,000 subscribers. This would net her a monthly income of ~$5,000 USD, excluding additional revenue from tips, sponsorships, advertising and Twitch cheer bit contributions.
Streaming Hours
While she doesn’t have a set schedule, she streams almost daily for between 4.5 – 8 hours a session.
