So grateful for these three women. It was only this time last year we were starting up PPB and since then they’ve become such a huge piece of my life. I’m so lucky such cool, nerdy, talented, smart, funny and kind women are my friends. Happy women’s day!!! I could talk about games with y’all forever

Ha, I saw that. Can’t get angry about a rip-off of a rip-off! I enjoyed the video, we can’t lay claim to talking and shopping.

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!
