Katarina

Katarina (she/they) received their Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Poetry) from the University of South Carolina, where they used tabletop role-playing games as both a creative outlet and a storytelling exercise. They have been playing tabletop games since 2018 and have been active in the Chicago tabletop gaming community since 2021. Across the city, they have organized and run games centered on collaborative storytelling, accessibility, and inclusion for historically marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ+ players.
