Biography

• PhD Sociology - University of York (2019-present)
• MA Digital Media and Society - University of Sheffield (2017)
• BA Journalism - Southwestern University Of Finance And Economics (2012-2016)

In the BA process, I have been a game reviewer, writing the first-hand reviews for many games. After graduation, it became my job. I have worked for the gaming media Chuapp and written a series of in-depth reports about the phenomenon of sexual predation in children's gaming.

After that, I wanted to re-examine my work from an academic perspective; hence, I joined the University of York as a PhD student. My research focuses on video games and gamers. I want to understand how does video games as one of the most popular media affect every aspect of people's lives.
