Shabana worked at T3.com as News Editor covering tech and gaming, and has been writing about video games for almost a decade (and playing them since forever).

Outside of work, she also plays video games and should really think about expanding her hobbies. If you have any tech or gaming tips, shoot over an email or DM her on social media.
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.
Shabana is based in Cheltenham, England, and went to Oxford Brookes University while training to be a journalist.
