Growing Up GamingI grew up in sunny Southern California with an older brother who introduced me to Ninja Turtles and video games before Barbie even had a chance.
The Game boy, NES, and SNES ruled our childhood. We would walk miles to rent games and that is where I discovered my all-time favorite, Earthbound! However, upon playing the Final Fantasy series and World of Warcraft, games have continued to be a part of my life including playing and competing in Halo hardcore matches. Lastly, I am currently playing Hearthstone on Twitch (stream). I have reached legendary rank and have unlocked the Golden Mage. I also love to stream retro games, play co-op games with friends, and even do Karaoke with my viewers! |
A Creative VeinWhile growing up I didn’t just play video games but I had a creative side as well. I would make tons of sticker art for my grandparents. When I was younger everyone else my age was drawing stick figures but I was trying to draw as accurately as possible; I wanted perfection.
I was a huge Sailor Moon fan growing up which gave me the inspiration to draw other anime to go along with my drawings of Sailor Moon. The art side of me stuck throughout my life and when it came time to pick a direction for college I could think of nothing better. I didn’t want to just draw anymore though. My uncle was a woodworker at the time and had introduced me to glass making. I fell in love with it. I went on to get a Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) degree with a concentration in glass. After showing my glass art in a gallery for about two years in North Carolina, I came back to California and have continued to pursue an art career here. I love to combine both of my worlds and create glass art that has to do with gaming such as the Glass SNES I made. |

World TravelerBefore I started streaming full time on twitch, I was traveling the country as a flight attendant. I love traveling and despite the tough schedule at times, being a flight attendant gave me a great opportunity to see the world.
I visited Germany in the summer of 2013. It was gorgeous. The culture and food were both amazing. I want to see more of the world such as Japan, Australia, and Paris. Some of my other favorite places to visit: Seattle, Portland, and Boston. My favorite thing to do when I was on a layover was to find the best restaurant and indulge in a wonderfully cooked meal! |
Other ActivitiesI love to stay active! I enjoy hiking, Zumba (I love to dance!), and rock climbing. And I love to cook healthy making my favorite foods like veggies, quinoa, lean meat, and many other types of healthy food. However, I also love to sit down to a huge bowl of pasta with a side of ricotta cheese or I’ll make my legendary Mac N’ Cheese. Once in a while I’ll make a really good carne asada.
Now, besides physical activities and cooking, I can’t say no to a good book and can often get lost in the story. Lastly, I love music and movies. Music is a huge part of my life and I can dabble a little on the piano and I love all different types of music from classical to classic rock. I also really love a good romantic or fantasy movie. Some of my favorites are Star Dust and Begin Again. |

Goals
I want to continue to build a strong and positive community. My stream is like family to me. Something I find important is interacting with everyone in the channel and also bringing a smile to as many as possible!
I feel so blessed to have the community that we do and hope that I can continue to do this for many years to come. There is one thing that is close to my heart and that is making a difference in someone’s life even if it is just one person.
A goal of my stream is not only to be able to play and show games that I enjoy with my viewers but to also introduce glass art into the streaming world. I am looking forward to creating custom art for my viewers, other streamers, and also for charity. I’m working on getting the equipment and space I need to get that fired up.
