Linda Jaramillo

Tournament Organizer & Social Media Specialist

Gaming has given me a home in a time in which I felt lost. The number of friends and happy memories I have built over the years get me through hard times. Gaming is a home for so many people and that is what makes it so great.

Samantha "Persia" Hancock

Commentator and Host

Do what you love and love what you do. No matter what anyone says, they can never take away your passion. So give your all to your craft becaue true passion can never be denied and will always be respected. The only one in full control of your life is you, so never sell youself short and always know your worth.

Jenny Xu

Founder & Lead Game Developer, JCSOFT Inc.

Former ESA Foundation Scholar

Finish projects and never be afraid to make something that others don't think will succeed. Move fast but have fun while doing so. If you can't decide what you like try them all.

Noris "Celesmeh" Sola

Twitch.tv/celesmeh

I wanted to form a community for people like me, people who didn't always see people like them, who didn't see women, latinos, lgbtqia people on screen. Growing up I wanted role models and now I know that I can be the role model I wanted to see.

Lynda "Shynkro" Taug

Designer & Developer

When I was young, my parents never let me play any video games so I decided to make my own. Now they can't say anything because it's "research."

Amanda "Romanova" Rose

QA Analyst & Costume Creator

Don't give up. It took me 4 years to finally land a position in the industry. I went from doing reviews and costume work (just to stay close to gaming outside of playing) to doing QA for one of my companies I dreamed of being at since I was a kid.
