I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news 🎃intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
