a.k.a. Vixx
I wasn't the kind of girl who grew up playing dollies and dress-up. While others were falling in love with boy bands and Australian soap stars, I was falling in love with gaming. I got lost in Hyrule. I kicked ass in Street Fighter. I had inappropriate dreams about Solid Snake, became obsessed with the gorgeously grim environments of Silent Hill, and am still kind of addicted to Guitar Hero.
Before I gave up the monotony of civil service life to write for a living, I worked for 15 years as an equality, inclusion, and wellbeing adviser, specialising in employment and higher education. Today, I blend both of these passions as a games writer and an equality consultant, working with organisations like Ukie to improve equality policy and practice and make the games industry a kinder, more supportive place for all.
