About Me |
Andrea Rubenstein is the co-founder of the Iris Gaming Network. Though it is now in semi-retirement, The Official Shrub.com Blog is where she began her career as a blogger; posts there cover a wide range of topics, focusing on the intersections of anti-oppression activism, popular culture, and gaming.
After graduating from the University of British Columbia with a BA in Asian Area Studies (minor in Classical Myth, Religion, and Literature) in May of 2005 she took a year off and then moved to Japan in April of 2006 to study Japanese at The Yamasa Institute. In April of 2008 she began studying at HAL computer college in Osaka. She hopes to get a career in the video game industry (ideally helping to plan the design for MMOs) and one day start her own company.
