Kapanlagi.com - In recent years, the gaming and e-sports industry has experienced rapid development and has become a promising industry. The expanding scope of this industry has attracted the interest of many people, even those who previously knew little about this sector. One of them is Jena, or better known as Jenadammaya.
Jena, whose real name is Karunia Dammayanty, is originally a model. She has been involved in the gaming and e-sports world for quite some time after she was seen endorsing several electronic and gaming products or brands.
In addition, Jena has also been a brand ambassador for one of the e-sports organizations in Indonesia, Recca E-Sports, and she is also a streamer. However, Jenadammaya's career in the gaming and e-sports world was never planned to be pursued before. Everything happened naturally, flowed, and unintentionally.
"Initially, it was because I enjoyed chatting with friends who liked games, and eventually it became an unexpected blessing to enter the esports world and be invited to become a model for one of the famous esports organizations on YouTube since 2019. After that, her channel grew bigger in the modeling and esports world," said the owner of the Instagram account @Jenadammaya.
1. Already Tried Various Game Genres

Even though accidentally 'plunged' into the world of games and e-sports, it didn't happen without a basis and Jena's interest in games. Amidst her busy schedule, Jenadammaya admitted that she has tried many different game genres. Jena's choice of games is also aimed at having fun and relieving stress after her activities as a model, as well as entertaining her viewers during streaming.
"I really enjoy playing games. The games that are fun for me are mostly not about ranking, but more about having fun for the viewers and myself, like The Sims, MMORPG, Tekken, and others. Because I initially played games just for fun, and I have liked them since I was in elementary school, so I didn't expect to enter the world of esports," said this 20-year-old woman.
Although accidental, it doesn't mean that Jena is not serious about exploring the potential and opportunities in the gaming world. In the near future, Jena plans to make more game vlogs and grow her YouTube channel, although she admits that there are some obstacles in doing so.
"In terms of games, I want to be more active on YouTube and do more vlogging. The difficulty lies in time. Because I also work as a model, I can't focus on games all the time. And when I start playing games, I tend to forget about time. I often stay up late if I get too engrossed," said this beautiful model.
2. Ambition

Having a career as a model and gamer is indeed pursued by Jena for the advancement of her career and some things that she has made her ambitions to be achieved, sooner or later. Jenadammaya realizes that she cannot be a model forever, so she thinks about other things that she will pursue in the future. One of them is Jenadammaya's ambition to become an entrepreneur. She also thinks about diving into the fashion and hospitality industry.
It's no wonder that a model is interested in the fashion world. But in this case, Jena has a mission to introduce traditional clothing in Indonesia to make it more popular, both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, Jenadammaya also wants to enter the hospitality industry because she believes that Indonesia has such great wealth in tourism.
"In the future, in my career, I want to have a business in the fashion and hotel industry. Because in Indonesia, there are many great (tourist) locations that have not been developed. So I want to open a hotel to contribute to the advancement of tourism in Indonesia as well," said Jena.
"I also really like wearing traditional Indonesian clothes. I have tried Balinese, Jakarta, and Padang traditional clothes. Well, there are still many that I haven't tried and I am very excited if there is an opportunity to wear them, and also take photos in their hometown, hehe," she continued.
3. Indonesian Cultural Love

Jenadammaya admits that she loves Indonesian culture. She wants to preserve the culture that Indonesia has so that it is not forgotten by its own people, especially the young generation of Indonesia.
"As for this, it's because I really love the culture. Indonesians are friendly, wherever you go, you will always meet good people. The culture should not be lost because every Indonesian child should know their culture. Yes, love the country, not just foreign countries. Because if you trace it, Indonesia is much cooler. We shouldn't let Indonesian culture be forgotten and later be stolen by other countries. We will regret it in the future. I hope all Indonesian people can realize this, especially the younger generation. Don't be apathetic and be aware of the beauty of Indonesia," said this woman from Jakarta.
Regardless of everything, there is one noble aspiration that Jena wants to fulfill soon. It is to buy a nice house in Jakarta for her parents.
"The process is underway, hopefully everything goes smoothly," she said.
