While Harvey now works at Counter Logic Gaming as director of Esports Franchise Development and Outreach, she has had great success as a gamer, earning five world championships.

But the role-model status that accompanied her success was something she "got just pushed into it because at first, I was different," Harvey says.

"For me, it didn't matter that I was a woman, but for others, it did matter."

She goes on to say, "I pushed for initiatives that I care about but also I think that would make the gaming world better and although I started, you know, by being a woman and that was kind of my niche, I think that now, I fight for anyone and everyone."
