Hi Julia! What does gaming mean to you personally?

Hi and thanks for having me! Gaming for me is my passion. It’s my job, it’s my safe space, it’s where I can lose myself, have fun, make new friends, spend quality time with old ones and so much more.

How did you decide to take the leap and become a full time streamer?

I started streaming eight years ago as a hobby. My goal was to find more people that play the same games as me, so I wouldn’t have to play with people I don’t know all the time. After a year I was able to build a community so big and strong that I got my first sponsor. That made it possible for me to go full time. I never planned it to happen the way it did but I couldn’t be happier about it!

 
When interacting with your community, is there anything that is particularly important to you?

For me personally, it’s important to always be honest and authentic. If I have a bad day, or something bad happened in my private life, I will let them know. I decided to share every aspect of my life with my community, which gives us a really close bond.

Thank you for your time, Julia!
