In the summer of 2020, Heather Contino made the executive decision to quit her 9-5 job to pursue her love of writing. Although Heather has received her Associate’s Degree in Education at Brookdale Community College, she finds that writing is one of her true passions in life, other than gaming!
An avid video and tabletop gamer since she was in her teens, Heather’s passion for playing games has only grown over time, along with her extensive collection of over 175 board games! She and her husband annually attend PAX East and PAX Unplugged gaming conventions to stay informed about up and coming games.
She has also created a personal blog and Instagram page focused on the gaming community.
Heather grew up on the Jersey Shore but has recently moved to the outskirts of Philadelphia with her husband and son. Currently, she spends her time as a stay-at-home mom and enjoys writing instructional guides for Group Games 101!
