Aisha is an avid video game player. For the past two years she has fronted the Ubisoft Press Conference at the annual E3 Expo, the only woman to ever do so. She has provided voice work in several video games, including Halo:Reach, Gears of War, and Watch Dogs. She’s also a reigning celebrity Jeopardy champ.

Critical acclaim for Aisha is effusive. Esquire called Aisha “sweetly wicked,” designating her one of its “Women We Love”. US Weekly called her “Swiss Watch Perfect.” Maxim anointed her one of its “Hot 100” two years in a row. The Hollywood Reporter calls her “wonderful” and MSN called her “Smart, Sexy and Effortlessly Funny.” She is far too modest to agree.

A San Francisco native, Aisha graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in government and environmental policy. She loves French food, action movies, video games, snowboarding, zombie lore, and Korean pop. And, on occasion, a nice old bourbon, neat.
