EDITORIAL WRITING JOURNALISM
Lore:
My first articles were published at the age of 18 under the guidance of CollegeHumor’s now Emmy-Nominated and Emmy-Winning editors, Hallie Cantor and Will Stephen, establishing my foundation in comedy.
Throughout my prolific writing journey, my witty sensibility and observational lens have expanded to cover a range of timely topics. I pride myself on being able to engage thoughtfully in any beat through principled research and identifying the unique angle. As a writer, I am a self-starter, strong pitcher, and maintain great stamina in a space dominated by quick turnarounds.
In recent years, I have focused my writing on the games and entertainment industry, aiming to further legitimize and strengthen my voice in my Games Narrative Design career. I still maintain my versatility.

All Ages of Geek
STAFF WRITER
For All Ages of Geek, I cover the great expanse of nerd-culture from feature films to TV/anime, comic books, video games, and industry events—
“All your art are belong to us!” (a reference for my elder internet geeks.)
My versatility has allowed me to work closely with major PR firms and the studios/projects/creators they represent. Where I outshine my contemporaries is through my in-depth roundtables and interviews.
My questions and moderation focus on the creator’s technical approach to their craft with the intention of highlighting processes that up-and-coming creators can incorporate into their own writing or creative output.
PRESS
Working with Apple TV+ and their selected PR firm, FerenComm, I conducted an in-depth roundtable interview with the core creative team of the Emmy-Winning hit series 'For All Mankind' to promote their upcoming fourth season.
Working with Warner Media & Max, I conducted a roundtable with the core creative team of ‘Scavengers Reign’ leading up to their series premiere. I was also selected to write a thorough analysis of the show’s early episodes.
Selected by The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art to interview honorees at The Carle Honors Annual Benefit Gala and Art Auction.
