Madeleine Martinez

Student at the University of Oregon

United States

I'm a sophomore student at the University of Oregon, majoring in public relations and minoring in game studies. I am most interested in the communication between entertainment industries and their audiences, specifically within the games industry. I am also very passionate about female representation within these industries and within the media they put out. In my free time, I love to laugh with friends, watch movies, or play games (digital and physical).

Avid player of games with specific close interest in indie titles, though I love and play many genres! Some of my favorites: Undertale/Deltarune, League of Legends, Celeste, Breath of the Wild, Ace Attorney, Overwatch, Stardew Valley, Risk of Rain 2.
