She works full time in the games industry but somehow also has time to be the managing director for @RepMeCharity. She is co-chair of @IGDA_LGBTQ_SIG, has authored various academic texts, and advocates for more inclusive spaces. She is also just generally just kinda scary and has a lot of piercings and is really good at excel spreadsheets (if that’s not proof she’s a witch, I don’t know what is, because excel is terrifying.)  You can find Alayna on Twitter @AlaynaMCole, and her charity @RepMeCharity and https://representme.charity/. "Represent Me is a not-for-profit helping marginalised communities through resources, training, and support. We specialise in working with the games industry, but our expertise allows us to support a range of industries."
