About Andrea Tan
A writer by day and gamer by night, Andrea’s love for video games started when she first received a Game Boy Advance SP as a birthday gift from her parents. She tends to be fueled by caffeine nowadays as creates content for multiple games, but that doesn’t stop her from plunging herself into the realm of other geeky hobbies. Aside from taking part in Holdfast: Nations At War's military linebattles with the Imperial Frontier Force (IFF) and liberating planets from Automatons and Terminids in Helldivers 2, she’s usually building a Gunpla from her backlog, dialing in espresso using a new pack of beans, or having a yapping session with her manager. Andrea lives with her overzealous Schnauzer, Pochi, and an outdoor ginger cat she affectionately calls Dimsum.
