Background:I have always grown up with play fights and action figures, so video games just come natural when you grow up with 5 brothers and you’re their only sister. I guess that sums up why I can joke around with guys better than I can with girls, but who knows. I have been attending tournaments and casually gaming since I was little. Before Xbox Live games were never a big part of my life, usually I would watch T.V or find a way to scare my brothers. I would also get so sick and tired of playing games with my brothers because they would always beat me, but when Xbox became more interactive with people across the world that’s when I was hooked. Now my brothers can cry all they want because I beat their butts again and again.
Education:I am currently attending college to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
Hobbies:Aside from gaming, I am very active and love getting out of the house. I enjoy softball, volleyball, swimming, rock climbing, running, off-roading, spending time with friends, family and much more.
Gaming Experience:I have been playing on Xbox Live for over 6 years and still can’t find a way to sit down the controller. I grew up with 5 brothers so playing video games was very common. I play many games such as, Wolfenstien, Counter Strike, Jedi Knight Academy, Rainbow 6 & RB6: Black Arrow, Halo 1, 2 & 3, Fable 2, Guitar Hero, Gear of War 1 & 2, Call of Duty 4 & World at War, Prince of Persia and much more. Hoping from one game to the other my interest finally stuck when I started playing Halo 2 due to the release of competitive gaming, also known as Major League Gaming (MLG). Traveling to Major League Gaming events soon became a dream of my own. Now my heart resides with Halo 3 and I am very competitive person so Halo 3 is where it’s at! I have attended several local and national tournaments and Canadian tournaments.
General Information:I am a very energetic person, I am not afraid to walk up to any one shake their hand and introduce myself. I like to make people laugh even if it’s silly or stupid. I am also very strong, being raised around so many boys has helped me learn and evolve into the woman I am today. I don’t have any regrets of what I have become or what lies for me in the future; I always try to look forward. I am quite a history buff as well; I have lived with my dad alone for quiet sometime now and I have got a chance to hear his stories of his life and war. Every time I talk to him it’s like I am opening another chapter in his long lived novel that I will pass on for years to come.
