Coordinator of Diverse Engagement
Pam is a Filipino queer woman who wears a lot of hats across games: writer, designer, editor, sensitivity reader, cultural consultant, advocate, and community organizer. She's been nominated by or has received awards from several bodies, including the Ennies, the DJAs, and the Hugo Nebula Awards. Name a tabletop system, and she's probably done something for it. There is also a big chance that whatever she wrote was either incredibly gay, incredibly brutal, or gay and brutal.
Beyond creative work, however, creating more spaces at the table is something that matters deeply to Pam. Before entering the wider tabletop scene in North America, Pam pushed for the recognition of Southeast Asian talent, and built bridges between the various tabletop scenes in the Southeast Asian regions. She later got her break back in 2019 by being a scholar for the San Francisco-based Big Bad Con - a con that she now volunteers at, providing scholarships and in-roads for talent from the Global South. She's also served as the Executive Director for Dames Making Games Toronto, where she took her experience in tabletop into assisting marginalized digital artists and game workers in Canada.
When she's not any of that, Pam is usually playing a certain critically acclaimed MMORPG, or working her way through her eternal backlog of books, comics, shows, films, or other games. She is also happily married, with fur babies.
