Writing this a bit late, but I really enjoyed the #DSEP2022 conference last week. Listened to some amazing presenters and got to know/talk to a bunch of fab people, as well as present some more of my research. Onto the next! 🙌

On that point, I’ve struggled with how best to present myself as a @wigj ambassador, and now I know I can represent and provide a voice to women in games and esports, as well as other marginalised groups, through research! I hope to do much more in the future!

Really enjoyed #PsyPAG2022 these last two days. So many amazing pieces of research in different areas of psychology. Well done to all who presented and everyone who organised the event! 👏

Two months into my PhD and I already have ethical approval for my first project and have everything I need to get it done. This is going TOO smooth but I’m taking these early joys

Finished the final component of my Master’s degree today and I can’t believe how fast the year's gone. Just the waiting game for results and then moving on up to hopefully even bigger things! 😊
2
Finally finished my Master’s dissertation and I didn’t realise just how much of myself I invested into it. Thanks to all the wonderful people who made it possible and a joy to write! Now I’m sleeping all weekend 🙌
Still looking for a bit more representation from esports players who identify as female if anyone can help 😊
