Apr 2013 - Aug 2014
I write about pop culture, primarily film, combining a love for the subjects I'm covering and humor to create interesting content on a daily basis. My day-to-day is a mix of on-the-fly news coverage, features writing and interviews. I cover the occasional red carpet as well, I was once even ignored by 5 Academy Award winners on the same carpet which is maybe an industry record.
