Tasha - Game Dev Club Mentor

Tasha is a Game Dev Club mentor, navigationally challenged, self-proclaimed Pokémon, Jedi, and Keyblade Master

I've always been into games, ever since getting my first console (Gameboy Colour, yes I am that old!) and my first ever game: Pokémon Red! This was the start of a lifelong passion for gaming. I have many fond memories of playing Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my two brothers, trading and battling our Pokémon (I actively remember the first time I beat my older brother, victory never tasted so good!) My Switch gets an insane amount of playtime, with my PS5 coming in at a very close second! I do also play VR when the mood strikes.

I think games provide a great sense of accomplishment, whether that's playing them or making them, and I feel privileged to be able to work within such an awesome environment that allows so much freedom of expression for our members.

I love reading and I have a degree in History and love all things historic, and often get lost in looking up new things. I love the Percy Jackson book series, the mix of mythology with adventure is awesome! Some of my favourite games are Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, Stardew Valley, Monster Hunter, Legend of Zelda, and pretty much all Rogue-lites.
