Ruth Boyack
Co-Host of The Five By
While browsing the internet to avoid pharmacy school coursework back in 2010, Ruth stumbled across the world of hobby boardgaming and headed to Amazon.com out of curiosity. Years later, she’s a licensed pharmacist, the owner of far too many games, an active member of the lively Durham-area gaming community, and the organizer of a small Summer convention appropriately titled RUTHCon. When not recording for TheFiveBy, she shares her gaming & comics-related thoughts in a curated fashion on her blog at Sequential Gamer and in a completely uncurated fashion on Twitter.
