Got into video games early with her dad playing Tomb Raider and playing games with her cousins.
She even wanted to be a pro gamer as a kid.
Went the route of creative writing and journalism and got an internship at Eurogamer.
Love digging in for the deep stories

To the excellent journalists affected, I would love to put your work on VGC:
