Hi there! I'm Leisha and I'm a rising junior at Tufts University. I was first introduced to the field of game design when I took a class on creating games during my sophomore year. Immediately, I knew it was a niche in computer science that I wanted to pursue. I'm extremely passionate about increasing the number of women and non-binary people in such male-dominated fields, especially game design where this number is exceptionally low. GMG's mission to do by getting girls involved in this field at such a young age through camps really motivated me to be a part of this program. I'm extremely excited to be a part of GMG and I hope to make a long-lasting impact on the attendees!

Hello! I'm Sandy, a creative technologist and designer from New York City! As a rising senior at New York University majoring in Interactive Media Arts, I'm a big fan of all things art and technology-related. I'm also a dog person and a cat person. So, of course, my dog, Tofu, acts more like a cat than a dog. I played a lot of games growing up, and some of my favorites were The Sims, Just Dance, and Mario Kart.

Hello! My name is Sena, and I love video games!

I came to the United States from Russia to study Computer Science here at college. I chose Computer Science because I wanted to get skills I could apply to video game development!

I got into gaming when I was 6, and my first games were old Flash platformers. Now my favorite games are mostly indie pixel games in jRPG style, like Undertale.

Excited to meet you!

Hello campers! I'm a rising senior college student at UCLA who worked as a counselor at both the San Mateo and Rochester camps last year. This year, I'm super excited to be returning as a coordinator! I have been doing game development for four years now. You can play some of my games on itch.io (nico007.itch.io). Some of my favorite games are Spiritfarer, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Pokemon Ranger, Before Your Eyes, and Balatro! I also love to write, make art, eat good food, dress up in lots of colors, and see my friends! I'm a big fan of cats, even though I am allergic. I'll be getting one in the fall if you have any tips to give me about taking care of a cat!
