Introduction
Gamer at heart. Currently working on my dissertation about resources and resourcefulness avatars, players and entities have in digital contexts, including game worlds and digital platforms.
My background is purely from the game perspective as my major for Bachelor's Degree was Game Production, and I graduated from "Master's Degree Programme in Internet and Game Studies". Now I am continuing to further advance my expertise in games as PhD student.
