Alexandra Orlando’s journey started out very similar to many college gamers. Excited for the future, yet unsure of how she could turn her true passion into a career. Following the typical path, she pursued her other interests of writing and film until she discovered that the gaming industry offered a multitude of career and education opportunities.

After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in English and Master’s Degree in English and Film she entered into the English Language and Literatures PhD program at The University of Waterloo, where she specializes in game studies. During her time in the field, she has become well-accomplished and an expert in many gaming segments, including eSports and gaming diversity. Orlando was kind enough to discuss her studies and experiences with Gamer Women.
