"MASTERING THE META" WRITER

Hannah Marie ZT

I’m Hannah, and I write the newsletters that come to your inboxes sharing news about the New Meta Academy and the wider gaming/esports industry!

You will often see me behind the welcome bar at New Meta.

I also work in esports and gaming journalism, writing for publications such as Dot Esports and Esports News UK. Esports and gaming has taken me around the world, from the UK to Poland, Germany, and the USA. However, my favourite place to be is at New Meta!
