Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Screen and Media Studies at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. My research is focused on social learning associated with virtual worlds.

I also work part-time at Microsoft Games User Research doing usability and playtesting on a variety of games.
