Expertise
As a news and entertainment writer and editor, my work includes breaking news coverage, awards show coverage, celebrity interviews, theater reviews, TV show reviews and movie reviews. My goal is to provide readers with the latest and greatest news in the celebrity and entertainment world.
I also specialize in coverage of the British royal family, as well as entertainment recommendation content, having been the host of two podcasts, one devoted to TV and movie recommendations and the other devoted to the series And Just Like That.
Experience
I have worked in the news and entertainment world as a writer and editor for more than a decade. Though I got my start as a freelance writer, I soon found myself as Managing Editor for both the print and digital editions of Stagelight Magazine, New York's premiere Broadway and theater publication. I then spearheaded news and experimental content at the viral digital publication, LittleThings, before taking over news and entertainment content at PureWow. As a playwright, I've had my work published and performed across the country and Off-Broadway in New York City.
Education
I received by BFA in theater from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where I also studied journalism and creative writing. I went on to study improv and sketch writing for four years at Upright Citizens Brigade.
