About Nova
Nova Tran worked as a QA tester for a game studio and started streaming at night and on weekends as a hobby. After two years, her subscriptions and a first sponsorship covered enough of her rent that she decided to try it full time.
She now streams strategy and indie games five days a week on a major streaming platform to a community of regular viewers. Off camera she plans shows, edits highlight videos, answers sponsor emails and negotiates her own rates. She keeps a strict schedule to avoid burnout.
Nova hosts because streaming looks easy from the outside, and she wants people to see the setup, planning and business work that go into each broadcast.
