About

Let me introduce myself.

Profile Picture

My name is Andrea and I'm a 25 years old spanish girl. I was born in Cuenca (Spain) but since I turned 18 I have lived in different parts of Spain so I could say I like to change of scenery. Since I was a child, I have been playing games and I had at home all kinds of technology. One day I decided not only play video games, I wanted to create them. So here I am! I studied a Bachelor's degree of Design and Development of Video Games at Jaume I University (Castellón, Spain). I also received an Erasmus grant so I went to Hanzehogeschool University of Applied Science in Groningen (Netherlands). A couple of years later, I did a MSc in Development of Software at University of Granada.

In my free time I like to play video games (obviously), watch films and series and read. And when I have time (and money) I love to travel!
