What made you choose to join the Women in Games Society?

If you could live in any video game world for a day, where would you go and what would you do?
Little Nightmares, I’d run around the Maw and go hug all the nomes.
 

Who’s your ultimate female gaming icon or character — and why does she rock?
Alice Liddell from McGee’s Alice, I just really like Alice in Wonderland and she’s a diva.
 

What’s the first game that made you fall in love with gaming?
MW2, I loved the maps and campaigns especially Estate.
 

What's your favourite board game or video game, and what makes it so enjoyable for you?
I’m really into Bloons TD 6 right now, figuring out new monkey tower strategies and popping the bloons/MOABs is really fun, especially late game. It’s also really fun to play with friends.
 

If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why?
A Cheetah, they’re very cute and one of the only big cats that can purr.
