Jasmine Chiam
One of those gamers who got hooked on Halo in the early years, Jasmine has been enjoying console and PC gaming since her single-digit birthdays. Her tastes have changed, though, with Sandbox games and RPGs being her main interest for the past several years, as she mostly jumps between Terraria, Minecraft and Divinity. Additionally, she’s an avid supporter of the game developer community, with close to 100 indie games in her Steam Library.

As a Bachelor of Pharmacy, a researcher and an experienced writer, she’s the only person on our team to whom we entrust our health-related articles. In them, she covers all the possible esports injuries one can get, from early signs and precautions to advanced symptoms and treatments.

To check out her other work, take a look at her social handles below.
