Name Origins
She and her brother were looking through her mother’s yearbook one day and discovered someone nicknamed ‘Gubba.’ Her brother thought it was funny and started calling her Gubba. She originally hated it, but it grew her on her after a while.
Gaming Origins
GubbaTV started playing videos games when she was around two years old when her parents put a TV and Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario Bros. 3 in her bedroom. She also played Duck Hunt, Kirby and many other games as she grew older.
Her family moved around a lot when she was growing up and as a result she has lived in six different states, mainly in rural areas. As she is an introvert, she spent spent a lot of her free time outside of sports playing video games and reading. She did karate for seven years and managed to get a black belt in it. She also played soccer when she was younger, did boxing for a while and played volleyball.
She first went to college when she was 17 and started watching YouTube videos. She discovered JennaMarbles around that time and became a huge fan. This likely influenced her decision to try out streaming later on when she was taking a break from college.
Professional Gaming
She started streaming shortly after her brother introduced her to Twitch in March 2015. Two months into her channel, someone donated $2,000 USD to her. Shortly afterwards she had a really bad experience at her waitressing job at Buffalo Wild Wings thanks to the customers and just decided to walk out and try streaming full time. A month later she was partnered and has never looked back.
She originally started out as a variety and IRL streamer, but Fortnite has been her main game since November 2018.
