Meet your Session Leader
Meet Mekkin, our beloved game master and Uncommon artist, known for her love of dragons and the color purple. Mekkin’s unique storytelling brings each adventure to life, ensuring creativity knows no bounds in our D&D Camp. Deeply passionate about Dungeons and Dragons, reading (especially fantasy and sci-fi), standup comedy, digital art, and psychology and neurodivergence, Mekkin started playing D&D a couple of years ago after being inspired by shows like Dimension20 and Critical Role.
Mekkin has a blast creating D&D worlds for Uncommon! Today, Mekkin works with Uncommon, performs, and does comedy.
Making people laugh is her greatest joy!

"The environment Uncommon creates seems to make all the kids feel like a bonded group really quickly and they are keen to help and support one another as a result. It is so wonderful to see, especially as many of our kids probably struggle with similar peer interactions day to day. Thanks Uncommon Team!"
