She is the founder-creator of PMSClan.com and has appeared on various media venues promoting her message and organization to the world. She has equipped many young girls with the confidence they need as it involves competitive gaming and gaming as a whole. She brings great diversity to our table. The stereo type of guy gamers only is slowly dissapating to a new level in which female gamers can now have a voice and platform to prove they can hang with the guys or perhaps play better than them. Athena is a respected force in the MLG community and also outside its organization. From the Triggers Down team we give her props and also respect the PMS(Pandora's Mighty Soldiers) clan and gaming organization.

PMS Clan, also known as Pandora's Mighty Soldiers is the world's largest multi-platform online female gaming group, launched in 2002, with active game divisions on Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, and PC platforms. Unlike many gaming clans, the main focus of the PMS clan is not just to play our best; our mission is to provide a fun, positive, and competitive online gaming experience to other female gamers in an effort to recruit and retain females in the online gaming environment.

H2O Clan was launched as the male only counterpart clan of PMS in 2004, in the attempt to recognize males that have supported females in gaming and provide an active and competitive clan and community for them. H2O members typically try to raise the industry's awareness of female consumers, and support and compete alongside PMS members at events or competitions.

Interview with Athena

PMS|H2O Clan boasts over 2000 members, across various platforms and games. PMS|H2O also has an active international divisions based all around the world. Our clan differs from other gaming clans in that it does not discriminate between gamers based on skill or even location as many do - any gamer can join the respective male and female divisions - They are only screened for attitude and dedication. Our top players have competed alongside the best PRO players in the industry, and we have placed top 8 at World events like CPL, WSVG, and CGS.

All members go through a month long recruitment and orientation process before they are accepted into the clan. We take pride in screening our members for best attitudes and behaviors, and monitor them regularly to make sure our image is fun, but respectful. All members are required to sign our handbook, which outlines our history, rules, and codes of conduct. We promote only those who are the best examples of behavior into leadership roles, which has helped us become the success we are today.

PMS|H2O Clan is open to anyone, but not for everyone. Each member has a strict code of conduct that is enforced and will have a large role in creating their own experience in this clan- while we provide the community, support, structure, and organization needed to help ensure their success.
