I consider myself a pretty laid back girl, with an inner child who loves dirty jokes. I am also very silly and sarcastic and I just love to be happy and have fun. Some of my hobbies and loves are of course video games, but I am also a huge horror movie fan, I like them all from campy and cheesy to intense and over the top gory; but zombie films are some of my all time favorites. I also love collecting horror movie figurines (like my huge Leatherface statue or my full collection of Clive Barkers Infernal Parade figures) and video game odds and ends (like my awesome collection of standees I got from my EB Games or silly things like my Katamari Damacy cell phone piece that lights up when I get a call). I am also a huge Star Wars and James Bond fan (Sean Connery all the way!), I love when some TV channels have a James Bond marathon, even though I have them on DVD. I am also an animal lover; I have had mice, rats, ferrets, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, cats and dogs. If it's a furry, cuddly animal then I love it!

Gaming has been my life for years. My first system was the Atari 2600, and that's where my first taste of game addiction began. The game was Pitfall...and I was hooked. After that it was NES onto SNES, and well, you know where the list goes from there. Unlike most gamers, I skipped the Sega systems and was a loyal Nintendo system owner until the Sega Dreamcast. I still own most of my classic game systems (the ones that actually work) and I am still gaming hardcore. Mostly I play Action/Adventure games (God of War, GTA, and Prince of Persia) and Survival Horror (Silent Hill, Resident Evil, And Fatal Frame). But I also love Racing (Midnight Club, Burnout), Shooters (Time Splitters, Doom, Gears of War), and very few RPG's (Champions of Norrath, Phantasy Star Online). I don't play sports games because I quickly realized I sucked at them, so I stopped trying. I also love to play online, b/c there is nothing better than sharing gameplay with a friend.

I not only work in the video game industry, but I also have an independent modeling career and I co-host a podcast with my best friend (www.SpikeandRaychul.com). I have been going to gaming conventions for about 3 years now. I have appeared in Electronic Gaming Monthly, the late Playstation Magazine, PC World, and Penthouse for an article on gamer girls (no I wasn't naked). I am also a part of a group of gamers put together by Sony called the Game Advisory Panel, we beta test games and complete surveys on multiplayer options, game characters and game content. I love gaming, it's definitely an important part of my life, it makes me happy and why not love what makes you happy!
