I remember playing Los Ah day off the tentacle palm was my first video game.

J T A Light stood.

First game I played was manic miner me, my mother and my sister.

We would play a lot of pong during the weekends was very competitive.

Videogames industry is like the medium of our time.

It is an absolutely amazing and exciting industry.

I want everybody to feel welcome.

I want everybody who wants to you to come and work in video games.

Women are a vital creative force in every aspect of the creation of major PlayStation four games.

These games truly wouldn't have happened without that level of diversity on our team.

It's amazing to see how people's idea built on top of each other and keep growing like a snowball.

And I don't think there's anything cooler than that.

Everybody's really happy to help.

I'm happy to help and you become that person after after all the years and he has mentored me from from the beginning.

I still remember well, when I interviewed Johanna, that was one of only one of the best fun interviews I ever did.

She was so passionate about programming I think women bring a really different set of thoughts and values into into the work environment, which does make an impact on the Games.

I've always kind of felt like I could be whoever I wanted to be in games, and that's one of the exciting things that has drawn me to wanting to work in this industry.

I'm able to be a mum on DDE, be up a working woman, and I've always felt that my company supports me and everyone around me supports that.

Here in the studio, we have women.

Major roles like Jessie has been a huge inspiration for me as well as Amelia.

They're very strong and they inspire other people would be the same.

I think it's difficult for any one person to create worlds that feel believable for everyone.

When you have diversity, especially in a team that allows us to create games, you're just more authentic.

It is truly a place where you can, through your merit and hard work and experience, have a place at the table and really achieve great things as a team.

My advice for someone trying to get into the industry as well is contact all the companies that you want to wait for.

Ask questions and don't be afraid to move forward.

If you fail, that's fine.

Don't give up.

Play more games that will wider your experience.

You need to keep learning and enjoy learning and be passionate about what you do.

There is absolutely a place for women.

I see it, I live it.

And I think every woman here at Santa Monica studio sees it.

We still have some work to dio, but we as a tribe of women, can get there, and I'm very proud to be a part of that.
