Before working at T3.com Shabana held the roles of News Editor at Gizmodo UK, Frelance News and Entertainment reporter at IGN Entertainment, Video Producer at Dialect, Inc and Staff Writer at VG247.
Following working at T3.com Shabana moved to the national newspaper The Sun, where she took up the role of Gaming News Editor, before then returning to Future as TechRadar Gaming's News Editor, a role that she remains in up to today. In that role Shabana writes about video games and gaming deals, with news, reviews and features under her belt.
