Hi my name is Kiki and I’m from Perth, Western Australia!
My journey into the gaming world was a bit of a strange one! I grew up playing your generic Crash Bandicoot, Croc, Bomberman World etc on PS1 with my brother. However, it wasn’t until I was around 15 that I accidentally walked into a LAN cafe one night and instantly became obsessed with what was happening. I quickly began making friends and learning the games like WoW, CS Source, 1.6 and StarCraft. I took a job there and worked my way up until I was offered the managers position and managed that store until I was 18.
I then enrolled in university and while there I worked part time at EB Games playing all the new releases and talking with customers about them. I eventually stumbled across Twitch and was again, completely obsessed with the business model and the thought of being able to entertain people with my loud personality and also earn money from playing games and making people happy! So a week after I graduated I dumped all my savings into a PC and never looked back!
