Laura Breshock is an ASCA trained School Counselor, graduating Seattle University with her MA.Ed in 2021. Prior to this she attended Linfield University for her Bachelor of Arts Degree in History, and Kings College London for her MA in Creative and Cultural Industries. But before all of that, she was the student with disabilities whose mother encouraged her playing Pokemon Blue on her gameboy color because, “it’s the only thing I can get her to read.” An avid gamer since the N64 came out, she joined the board to bridge the gap between Mental Health and gaming culture. In a society that often pits these two realms against one another, Laura seeks to combat the antagonists by demonstrating the common ground of both sides. Healthy gaming habits, building community and inclusion, digital citizen etiquette and behavior, and providing awareness and resources for gaming addiction, are all topics Laura hopes to support and encourage while serving on the board.
