About Brianna Barboza

A traveler at heart, Brianna is a risk-taker and goal chaser. Ever since she saw her brother playing Ocarina of Time on their N64, her path was set. In 2021, she graduated from California State University San Marcos with a BA in Arts & Technology. With multiple novels in progress and a strong desire to advance, she has a passion for creativity and writing. As she consistently strives to improve herself and pick up new skills, her ultimate goal is to work in Japan.

Favorite Games

Every game has its own merits, but the ones she holds closest to her heart are The Legend of Zelda series, The Sims 3, Final Fantasy, and NieR.

Favorite Console

Since consoles are constantly evolving and changing, there's not one that she particularly favors over the others. But she respects innovation first and foremost; so for the time being, it's the Nintendo Switch!

Proudest Gaming Achievement

When she was in the 1st grade, she started playing Ocarina of Time by herself, but was too afraid to go past the first dungeon. Instead, she would ask her brother to beat the rest of the game for her. Over time, she got closer to reaching the first temple on her own, but it wasn't until she got her 3DS did she actually beat it all on her own for the first time. For Brianna, that's her biggest gaming achievement.
