Angela Artois
Hey I’m Angela. I was born at Nellis AFB, and I have been all over the country. I love to travel, especially with my cat, Mr. Takis. I have some directing experience in Las Vegas, but my career has leaned heavily into Minecraft. I have more than a few videos on the game right now! I am always planning some big trip or move but I love hanging out with devs and other nerds. I have a huge passion for VR and game modding. Especially Skyrim and Minecraft.
