About Jerel Levy

Jerel Levy is an Evergreen Editor at TheGamer and has been working in gaming journalism since 2014. With a Bachelor's of Arts in English, his work first started at smaller websites before moving on to contribute at IGN and finally settling at TheGamer. He's been to Pax and Summer Game Fest for reporting, and has a specific focus on MMORPGs, JRPGs, mobile gaming, and Tabletop gaming, specifically Dungeons & Dragons and Disney Lorcana.

Jerel delves deep into the best builds and options for these titles, providing excellent guidance for players of every skill level. 

Industry Focus

As an Evergreen Editor, lists and guides are Jerel's bread and butter. Being able to explain the lore behind his favorite games or ranking the best Persona or Final Fantasy character is what he loves about the job. Guiding the latest Pokemon game while helping foster the talent of other writers is an added bonus.
