Bio: background: Many say my personality is one of a cute and bubbly schoolgirl yet with a dark sense of humor and an interest in the macabre. I am easy to get along with and always give my 100% in everything I do. I love to see people happy and I have a positive outlook on most things in life. I am a very open-minded person and things most people find disturbing, I usually find intriguing.
I am a writer for several different gaming sites and my work has been published in many different magazines. I am also a video host/correspondent, having covered gaming events for several different websites in the video game industry and TV shows such as the Late Show with Jay Leno. On-camera work is my true passion and I love to be able to combine that work with video game related projects.
Gaming Platforms: I have been gaming hardcore since I was about 4 years old. My current systems include Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS and a PC; but I also still have all of my old systems reaching back as far as the Intellivision. I do not consider myself one type of gamer, I play a little bit of everything and a lot of anything. The genres I tend to favor are Action/Adventure games (God of War, GTA, Prince of Persia, Uncharted) and Survival Horror (Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Fatal Frame). I also love Arcade Racing games (Midnight Club, Burnout), Shooters (Time Splitters, BioShock, Gears of War), and the hack n’ slash style of RPG's (Champions of Norrath, Phantasy Star Online, Fable). Naturally, I am also a big fan of the “casual” style of games such as any type of Simulation game (the Sims, Animal Crossing) and platform titles (Super Mario, Spyro).
Hobbies Outside of Gaming : I have very few hobbies outside of gaming, horror films being the main one. I have a passion for any type of horror movie; from campy-slasher films to edgy-gore-fests to zombie massacres. I can go head-to-head with anyone claiming to be a horror expert.
I also have a weakness for collecting action figures and movie or game related toys. My apartment is bursting with Star Wars collectables, God of War and Gears of War action figures, and even a large amount of horror movie monster “dolls”. One day I am planning on owning the life-sized Big Daddy statue alongside the life-sized Jason Voorhees statue.
