✨ My first publication! Open access! doi.org/10.1177/1555... It is an expanded version of the research I presented at DiGRA Australia earlier this year in February, and it’s also a part of my PhD work. It focuses on how players explore and express gender through avatar customization.

Excited to share that I’ll be serving as the Student Officer for DiGRA over the next few years! As a PhD student, I’m deeply aware of the challenges and struggles faced by students and early-career researchers. I’ll do my best to use this opportunity to provide help and support to those who need it.
