Alayna Cole is a writer, editor, researcher, developer, and teacher. When she isn’t curled up in a ball and worrying about all of the hats she wears, she lectures in serious game design at the University of the Sunshine Coast and is a DCA candidate investigating representation of queer perspectives in fairy tales. Her doctoral research and experience in the game industry led to her founding Queerly Represent Me, a database collating examples of queer content in games. Alayna also works as a freelance journalist, seeking to provide the public with timely and straightforward access to her academic research and findings.
