Marina is a Staff Writer at TechRaptor, a gamer through and through who is passionate about the games she plays and the impact she has on the game industry. She fights hard to make sure stories are heard and marginalized voices are highlighted at all times. Games writing isn't something she anticipated ending up in, having graduated with a degree in Psychology, but getting to write about games fulfills a passion in her that's hard to match.
Marina started writing in the games space in September of 2020 as a way to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, never realizing the effect it would have on her life. She's met tons of incredible people, played amazing (and not-so-amazing) games, and had the opportunity to hone her writing skills in the best possible way. Marina's favorite part of games writing is feature pieces and interviews, as she loves theorizing about her most played games and interacting with people.
When Marina isn't gaming or writing, you'll find her spending time with her partner, eating at incredible local restaurants, or perusing the aisles of thrift and consignment stores for gaming-related trinkets.
