Miki Gao intentionally stumbled into the gaming industry, with a diverse background in English, theology, and business management. Get her unique perspective on storytelling, Cantonese localization, equity, and finding a career in the video game industry in this episode of Open World.

Miki Gao takes frequent jaunts across Eos, Teyvat, and everywhere in between, fighting daemons and making monsters think twice before they cause too much mischief. Her adventures have taken her on paths through real estate, hospitality, higher education, and even a few stints at the "Happiest Place on Earth." Miki holds a master’s degree in management, a graduate certificate in marketing strategy, and bachelor’s degrees in English and theology. After graduating highest honors from her master’s program, Miki made her arrival to the gaming industry at the beginning of 2021 and has been having the time of her life ever since. In her free time, Miki can be found devouring an entire pot of dumplings, accidentally abandoning her tea, and delving the depths of her imagination to wrest that ever-elusive book manuscript from the clutches of her muse. She is presently writing a Chinese high fantasy series, built on the foundation of legends that have inspired her since childhood.
